Got someone else to provide some good measurements and completed it. As it turns out I needed smaller angle iron due to the shoulder on these ones in the pic contacting the block. Was shipping the thing on an 18 hour drive so didn’t want any wood falling apart on me and crushing the $$ roadrace...

Nice! Is that where you can you give me a measurement? A: the distance across the bLock from motor Mount to motor Mount B: the length from the center of the motor Mount (or center of one of the Mount holes) to the bell housing face Help a brother out!

Well looks like the OP hasn't logged on in 5 years. Maybe he’ll get an email notification but I won’t hold my breath...

Thanks for the post! I’m picking up a SBF engine next week that I do not have to measure with, so I’m going to trust these dimensions. I do have a question if the OP is still around- what is the distance from the center of the motor Mount tube to the face of the block where the bell housing...

It's a good idea to turn off water main in any season when you leave for a trip. Rubber washing machine hoses are the weakest link and many are OEM from when the house was built. They are a maintenance item. Also, blue automotive windshield fluid is a great antifreeze for traps and toilets in...

What an excellent garage and so well thought out. I really like the two hideaway scissor lifts that don't hurt a bay; so much so I will incorporate them into my build for sure. I also just love the brickwork look. Not too much of that in suburban NY and it would probably double the price of the...

Hello everyone- longtime lurker but finally in a position to make my first post/ thread on this board. I want to build a 3 car detached garage with a future apartment above it. I'd like it to fit architecturally with our center hall colonial with a peak on the roof and on the front porch...
