I am trying to locate where my motor mounts need to go (centerline) in relation to the centerline of the front crossmember. I will be running a short water pump. I don't have all of the pulleys / radiator right now, but want to get into the general ballpark. thanks in advance.
14 1/4" from rear/center of crossmember vertical face to centerline of sidemounts. Thats a small block chev with short waterpump in a stock model A frame with radiator in original location and a 4" firewall recess.---running an electric fan I pulled out of a Fiero
Is that 14 1/4" with a mechanical fan, i assume electric though. I'm about to do the same thing, mock up the block...cept i have a 3" stretched frame...and that measurement is centreline of the "pads" if they were bolted on correct. Sorry if its a bit of a threadjack.
my `28 tudor is 14-1/4" from the centerline of the radiator mounts on the front crossmember to the center of the motor mounts. stock type frame and wheelbase with a 3" thick radiator. short water pump be carefull when taking measurements...i measured from the radiator mount holes. the center of the spring bolt hole is different..about 1/2" back with a mechanical fan i had about 1-1/4" clearance to the radiator...now i have an electric fan
thanks guys for all of the input, I am not welding the mounts in for good, just wanted the ballpark, which you all got me in.
