There will be lots of people to thank for making this possible, but, for this 1st part, getting it mounted, it is BigTex.
Also a bit of a tip, i was able to cut my J tube w/ out removing it....i have a hole saw set and put a 3-5/8" on the mandrel and then put a 3" over that and the 3" rides inside the original hole and guides the 3-5/8" to cut a perfect hole...no fuss, no muss! Here are some pics!
Thanks BigTex!

I had a machinist make my flange and then weld it on to the j tube but it didn't have the groove machined for the gasket. I used the Loctite gasket maker, #510, and although it's expensive it has worked just fine this first 2 weeks of use.
