Block Hugger Question...

Anyone know the measurement from the block to the outside of the flange on
a SBC.
Working on a '27 roadster and it looks real tight between the frame and block and would rather check measurement before buying something that would not
work.

 

What is the width between your frame rails? That measurement is 18" on my Anglia chassis and the blockhuggers would not fit.

 

here is a pic I just snapped in the shop...... block huggers...350 chevy......boxed model A frame

 

Thought it was a wee bit tight...
I've got 21" total between the rails with 5 1/2" from block to frame.
Racefab's pic looks about 4 1/2" maybe 5...might fit if I play nice with them.

thanks guys.
