Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I love these discussions. I would assume in any engine swap how high or low the engine sits is one of the biggest concerns. So that locations pretty much determines how far away from the engine and it's mounts are away from the frame. In turn determining how much room you have to play with bushing location. Which a good bit of which could be taken up by some bracing or whatever. You're most likely not going to play with how high up the bushings sit, outside of maybe a couple inches?
So, if you just finished reading that, you know you just wasted some valuable seconds of your life. I can only imagine you sit the engine in and everything just ends up where it ends up. :dunno:
bushings closer to the block will create less distortion and keep the engine in place better. the closer to the center of the engine, the length of the lever trying to twist will be less. there will be more stress on the chassis mounts but you should have more room then to add additional bracing.
at least thats how I look at it.
