MTR mount Question

the frame i got with the 28 roadster was set up for a small block chev...it is a TCI with TCI side engine mounts...it looks like the guy i bought it from was having trouble with it because the drivers side was removed and rewelded about 3/8 lower than the pass. side....the measurement between the mtr mnt bolt centers is 16 5/8"....is that correct for a small block chev or has this thing been set up wrong???TIA

 

help

 

Drop a small block in there and see how it sits.

 

any pics of the mounts and the tape measure to show your measurement?

 

there the small blck donor is still in the vehicle....but i hafta get my frame inspected soon for reggy...the mounts are the classic tci ones...i need the distance between the bolts that hold the mount to the frame...mine are 16 5/8 but look like they are wrong

 

it will sit crooked ...thanks tho

 

SBC motor mounts came in diffeerent thicknesses so he may have bought a mismatched set and adjusted to compensate.

 

good point..thanks


i phoned TCI....very helpful...the measurement is 16.5 " center to center and top of the mount sits flat and fush with the top of the frame(for others future searches)...mine has been tweaked....i'llcut it off and redo it
