I have a 5.0 was wondering if anyone has pictures of their motor mounts and how they center the engine side to side ?

 

I don't have pics but made my own and set it off to passenger side so header clears all steering. I had a Jag front end. Must have had the engine in and out twenty times to get the side by side and angel correct. I made wood mock ups but all of that went with F3 when I sold it.

 

Check this thread out. He is making motor mounts very similar to what I did.

It may give you ideas. Have fun

 

Thank you for the reply !!!

 

 

 

I have a 351C currently out of my 52 chassis, which has a Holden HZ (ie Camaro) front end.


Would you like pix over the weekend??

 

Yes sir that wuld be awsome! !

 

Now, if we can all come to terms that this is RIGHT HAND DRIVE, we can move on and look at the pictures....

 

 

.....now don't be surprised if you need to use a Bronco/rear sump to allow you to sit the oil pump as low to the cross member as possible.

 

Yea thats different ! Right steering
. Thank you so much for the pictures . It helps to visualize it alot better !!

 

I have a 1979 Nova subframe in my 50 F1, virtually the same as your 77 camaro clip. I have my 5.0 centered, with plenty of clearance. Stock Ford motor mounts on the engine going to fabricated brackets on the Nova crossmember.
I used a rear sump oil pan and pickup from an older Bronco or Econoline.
The headers I used are from Speedway.
I have the motor sitting pretty high in the frame, and this position gives me over an inch clearance to the firewall.
The small block Ford is a pretty long engine, so verify your radiator clearance before you weld in any mounts. I went with a Ford Racing short water pump to gain some room, or you can go with a stock serpentine setup, which is even shorter.
Good luck!

How did u center the engine ? Where did u measure. . What motor mounts ? Year .

 

Here's a view from the other side, showing how much clearance there is to the oil pan. It looks like even a stock oil pan from a Fox Body Mustang would clear.
