engine placement in frame

[pav8427]

anyone running a big block 64-65 chevelle? i'm looking for a few general dimensions to see how far off from stock location i am.
i am looking for firewall to back of block, and if you use a 2 ft level with one end at the top of firewall,held level,how far down from level to both front and rear of intake end rails on block.
this is in a custom tube frame car and i want to see if i need to use more set-back.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, doug

Won't have the BB in my 65 for at least another 6 months. Would the measurements from a 69 be useful?

hi derek,
i think they will be way different, but lets give it a try.
