Guest potterma Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hey, guys, anyone know where I can find the EXTERNAL dimmensions for a SBC? I've got a 280ZX that I'm working on and want to lay out where things will end up. I'd also like something similar for the T56. Maybe some kind soul could post a few anotated pic's if there isn't something already available? Thanks guys.... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 I can't help you with a visual, but I have a book with the dimensions. This is from "Engine Swapping Tips & Techniques" compiled from Hot Rod Magazine: 30.5" from front of fan pulley to rear of block 20.5" from top of valve cover to bottom of oil pan sump 25" from top of carb to bottom of oil pan sump 27" from top of air filter to bottom of oil pan sump 19.5" across from valve cover to valve cover 26" across from exhaust manifold to exhaust manifold Keep in mind that these are approximations and will change with every modification you make to the motor, i.e. taller valve covers, headers, choice of carb, choice of air filter, short or long water pump, etc. These dims are based on a stock SBC and that's all I know.

Guest potterma Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Thanks for the dim's on the engine, DavyZ. I'll keep an eye out for the book. It sounds like it might be a useful addition to the JTR manual. So, any T5 or T56 info anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
