Re: My 51 GMC Build
We went to install the 6.0 in it. Using Dirty Dingo motor mounts. Sat the motor on the mounts. Back of the heads was like 6 inch from the firewall. So we are thinking that we would have to make a bracket and set mounts on new bracket to push the motor back. Any ideas.
Thanks |

Re: My 51 GMC Build
if its in an s10 frame you need the motor moved back 5-6 inches, or the clutch fan will look like a propeller out the front of the truck (not really)
if your mounts are the typical s10 mounts that move the engine forward, try swapping them side to side so they actually move the motor back. the amount of move should be 4.5" coupled with the extra cylinder should be just about perfect.
