My understanding is the engine is parallel to the frame, ie the
oil pan. And if you were to set a straight end flat across the frame rails, effectively the engine elevation would be that, sitting on this straight edge at the pan lip. and 5/8 to the passenger side.
Apparently my frame is set up for a small block or???? Using the FE mounts the engine is about 1" to high in the front making it on a big angle and the engine will not even cradle all the way down.
I have a extra set of Contemporary FE pedastals and they appear about 1" shorter and the mount holes face rearward, the ones on the car face forward, so the engine sits to far forward.
so before I hack this thing apart I was hoping someone would agree or disagree with my thoughts.
Also, if my measurement are correct, I may take my race mount pedastals off my chromemoly frame.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Daniel
