Motor Mounts
Motor Mounts I know I have seen it on here, a picture of the plates w/measurements needed to put early style motor mounts on these GenIII engines. For the life of me I cannot find it. Any one now the dimensions off hand?
The wrong hole is marked for countersinking the hole on the first mount, it should be the one just to the left of it. The guy that made the drawing didnt change it before he posted the pic. I am not sure about the other one (square one).
You use one or the other and just make two of them. The reason that there are two drawings is that one positions the motor forward of the other by 1 3/4". Which one you use depends on where you want the motor to sit. The odd shaped one is what the S&P mount looks like. The rectangular one is what I used on my car to move the motor forward and make the tranny mount and shifter line up better.
(I thought that I had fixed the drawing so that the correct one was labeled as countersunk. I think you have an old version.)

Verdad Gallardo You countersink them on opposite sides. The reason for the countersink is that the hole is directly under the SBC motor mount so it needs to be flush with the surface of the plate so that the mount can sit flat.

I just tried to use the s&p style mounts on my motor yesterday, the passenger side hits my a/c compressor on my camaro motor. Its not that big of deal to me, I am just going to move some things around a bit, but I thought others would like to know.
