Engine Location question in 32 Ford frame.
I have a 32 Ford frame that I am mounting a Ford 302 motor in. I know the location I want front to back, however I am looking for comments on locating the motor up and down. I have the frame positioned at a 3 degree rake, my plan is to mount the motor with the tranny tailshaft 2-3 degree lower than the front. What I need is a dimension I can use to position the motor up & down. I can easily set a straight edge across the top of the frame right in front of the crankshaft and with a dimension set the motor and locate the motor mounts and tranny mount. Anyone out there have experience installing a 302 motor in a 32 that could provide a reference dimension? Thanks
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
