Hey Gary any chance you could find out the degrees your engine sits back , straight edge on the face or the crank

Yeah 10 years time will see

Cheers Gary

Yip really happy with the a/c mount will be able to use dipstick aswell just needs a bit of bending

Hey Vin I wanted to sit the motor back further to help with the blower the more it goes back the less it stick out the front of bonnet it maybe 10-20mm but makes a huge difference ,, yes I could of gone the simple way but what fun is that

Great work Ian love it can’t wait to hear and see it go

just no body look up BBF’s it could lead to the wrong place

Thanks vin

but since I have made everything from block mount to kframe I would need a reference from the motor some where , there is other way  for the measurement from what you just said gave me the idea  ,from the back of kframe or power steering hole to the back of sump or block that maybe an easer way

<del></del>Right see what you mean not something I would consider workshop is big enough I’m a one car kind of person

but maybe a mini later on

Thank Heron but need measurements as I have modified my sump and it sits back just want to know how much

On the market for 160 grand

Dam that blue Torana is gorgeous

just want to see where my motor sits in comparison to of the shelf mounts ( as I made my own) as I wanted the motor to sit back further this will give me an idea ( don’t worry spacers have been thrown in the sell basket)
