Ls1 dimensions I am looking for a swap into a 1969 Triumph but was needing some basic dimensions. Can someone with an engine out take some quick measurements. I think it would help out all the hybrid guys with way out ideas. I guess we would need at least length, from flywheel to balancer, height, from oil pan sump to highest point, and from oil pan (not sump) to highest point, and width at widest point(heads) and at top of oil pan. I know there are a whole lot of other measurements that would come in handy, but this would be a start.
Good luck to everyone swapping,

Ok, here's a quick start.
Height:
bottom/front of oil pan to top of stock intake: 20.5"
bottom of oil pan to top of intake at tallest point: 24.5"
Width:
Head to head: 20"
*stock valve covers stick out 1/4" past the head on each side
Length:
back of block at bellhousing surface to front of timing cover: 22.5"
*my balancer isn't installed, but the stock one should add 2.75" to the length
I'd say all dimensions are within 0.5"
I only had one beer!
hope this helps

I'll qualify my numbers with the fact that my measurements were not super accurate, for one I was using a bathrom scale and two it had a 270lb limit, so I had to support the motor at 4 points and take a measurement one point at a time, then add the numbers up.
Results:
sbc 350, iron heads, dynomax headers, al intake with Th350 w/converter and all fluids=658lbs
Complete LS1/T56 stock w/exhaust manifolds all fluids=570lbs
I'd say my accuracy would be plus/minus 25lbs for each

Thanks for the weights and measures everybody. Now I just have to figure out what my current setup weighs. I'll be taking out a 2.0l straight cast iron 6 and a 4 speed manual, I imagine the new motor/tranny won't be too far off weight wise, maybe it'll be lighter ??? either way I am trying to mount it as far back as possible to get some weight onto the back half the of car, them maybe I'll at least have a shot at getting some traction. time will tell.

Here's a couple of additional dimensions that might be helpful:
Bellhousing surface to tip of water pump=~28"
Bellhousing surface to front of crank pulley=25 5/8"
Crank C/L to top of intake=16 1/2"

Ya know Ive heard of plastic replica's of engines you can buy and bolt in and stuff, to see how it would fit and look and all of that. Im sure there only a few pounds and a little easier to work with tan 570 lbs. I dont know if there are any websites but im going to look it up... good luck.

Yeah, it's kinda pricey, especially since I'll only need it once. If the measurements look like they will fit, I'll make it fit, I just wanted an idea of what size to look at how hard it'll be.
Thanks for the info though, If you did swaps all the time with a particular engine, that would definetely come in handy.
