Re: Engine Stand Position
By engine stand, you mean motor mount?

Re: Engine Stand Position
Yes the mount that attaches to the frame then the rubber/metal mount that's on the motor attaches to that with one bolt up thru the bottom can't provide pictures right now I am traveling

Re: Engine Stand Position
Wheelbase will not effect motor mount position if that's what you're asking.

Re: Engine Stand Position
If the shorty is a K-10 (4wd) or if it was big block the trans mounts will be in the rearward position (with a shorter driveshaft for the application) and that will dictate your engine mounts line up with the 4wd (rearmost) holes in the frame.
Some people have taken advantage of this when swapping engines, just to move a small-block back. I've also heard them called "the 6-cylinder position" before, but never looked at one closely, so 6-cylinder trannies may mount in the same rearward hole.
