I am looking for advise and tips on measuring procedures for locating engine mounts for a small block chevy into a 1946 1/2 ton frame. For the fore-aft location, I was going to measure from the radiator to the mounts leaving space for the water pump, pully and fan/shroud. BUt for the vertical location on the frame, what am I looking for? Do I need to actually set the block in the frame first? Any advise would be greatlly appreciated.
Many thanks,

That will provide the vertical measurements. Probably around 3-4 degrees. If there is a stock 46' around you just measure the engine angine in it. This assumes you are using a stock rearend of course or unaltered diff angle. | | |
