OK, original frame under is junk. don't ask just go with me...
new frame, already narrowed AND the bellhousing frame mounts have been removed.
I was going to install the big block with a stock '57 bellhousing and a dummy 4 speed,
into the original frame with all the appropriate mounts, make the side mounts, then make up tranny crossmember
mounting brackets to.....then, have a crossmember to hang the T400/BBC from. BUT, I'm thinking
I'm getting too damn old for all that. !! LOL.
SO, does anybody have a BBC/T400 combo that can give me a measurement of the centerline of the output
shaft to the ground, then the measurement of the top of the frame to the ground, so i can figure out the tranny crossmember brackets
without crawling around on my back and installing the BBB/T400 in the old frame, removing it then changing frames, then installing
it in the new frame.
Yes lots of words, just trying to be clear on what i'm doing.
Thanks, Gary
