How much longer is a long motor? So what is the answer--my little short motor (235) measures 32 1/2in from bellhousing to water pump--how much longer are those long motors? Plenty of Jimmis here and Tony's puttin that big 302 in the 37--lets find out how long those gigantic motors are? grin grin 228's 248s 270's 302s show some pride in those head crackers--whose got the longest motor? eek All those jimmi motors can't be the same size--whose longest?; let's get some measurements here.
