Caddy big block guys. UPDATE PICS

[cybrfire]

How far is it on your setup from the middle of the hole in the block to the top of the frame rail? Just looking for a close estimate.

The top of the frame rail is 2" above the bolt hole you think? I was figuring about an inch would be fairly close.

Re: Caddy big block guys. Have a question for you?

sorry i was wrong on my guess the top of the top hole were the motor mount bolts in is dead level w/ the top of the frame. headers were a tight fit had to modify them to clear the d-shaft on the d-side, cause it hung so low.

Thanks boz42. Heard the exact same from another guy so that helps a bunch. I should be able to post pics of my mounts hopefully by the end of the weekend. Will be pretty close to complete.

UPdate at the top.

 

[boz42]

the engine plate is a good idea, in case u missed it in one of my posts this is a pic of how i did it.
it is the only pic i have /forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif

 

[cybrfire]

That's pretty clean. Is yours solid mounted? Hard to see from the pics if there is bushings in there.

 

[boz42]

it has bushings. i bought spring eye bushing assemblies from ORD that had 1.75" dom for the outside tube. they were too wide to fit between the caddy engine mount plates so i took them & narrowed up the bushing assembly a bit so they would fit. the rest of the tubing is 120 wall 2" dom. i am happy w/ how it turned out. /forums/images/graemlins/grind.gif

 

[cybrfire]

That's pretty slick. I like how you used the tubing to wrap around the pan.

 

[boz42]

thanks, here is the same pic unedited

Looks like you had to notch the frame. Clearance for the drag link?
