Need Info on 454 install in 71 C10
I got info from others here on my big block swap, but never thought about the engine tilt. I have a 71 C10 shortbed that had a 350/ 350 combo. I have put in my 454/400 combo and came across this issue. The angle of the motor was 7-8 degrees tilt back, like 4 degree on the carb plate. To me looked like crap. I messed with it here and there all week. Just could not find the motor mount tranny mount combo that leveled the engine.
I had resorted to cutting out my low hump and installed a high hump I had laying around and went with the stock 77 motor mounts instead of 68 bb mounts I have and jacked up the rear of the tranny. Now its close, 2 maybe 3 degrees tilt. But cant believe its still not level. Can someone tell me what combo they used to level out or as close to with there bb swap. I have a collection of mounts I could use, (bb,sb 67-77). If someone knows please let me know. Thanks, Rich |
