staledale Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I've tried the search feature and have come to the conclusion I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe a post on how to use the search feature for those of us with one brain cell or less. Anyway what I was looking for is the location of a SBC using the JTR mounts. I going to make a mount that uses the newer style bolt thru mount, and would be easier to make than the JTR's. Need to know how much room there is between the dampener (7in) and the steering rack, how far the top of the block in the back is below the horizontal lip on the firewall. This is with the 3/4 offset to the right. Also how far is the firewall to the back of the block? Are these measurements with the spacers between the crossmember and the frame? I got a parts car that had a simple mount made for the SBC, the idea was great, the workmanship on the mounts was bad. They look like there was no offset and they were welded solid to the crossmember mounts. While I'm at it, what other block hugger headers fit without any hammer work? So far I see where the guys with the hooker headers are happy, the E-Bay cheapies need to much work. How about the guys with Sanders headers? By the way the Jag V12 is just on hold, lost storage space for the roadster so I'm getting it done and out of the way. Thanks for any info on where the small block sits.

Guest Aaron Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I can't answer your question about the JTR position, but I can tell you about the search. Look at this thread (http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=30313). The search function is effectively disabled untill the server is upgraded.

staledale Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 O.K. must be 1/2 inch on the dampner Pete's site said 1/2 inch between the fire wall and HEI, now if I only had the top of the block to the top of the firewall. By the way Pete, you once said you wish you had a simple way to have bolt thru mounts. Guess we'll skip the cross member spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
