    Ok so I thought I knew how I wanted to mock up this motor but now after I have it in there to me it looks like its up pretty high in the frame. The reason I set it up so high was so the fan would draw air into the radiator good. Is there a standard or something on how high your motor sits in the frame? For you guys who have done this alot I'd like your input. Heres a couple pics

    I usually work with Chevy engines but I always have the radiator in place and the water pump and fan blade in place to get the right height and location of fan blade to radiator right...

    the reason I'm asking this is if I leave it this high my cross member will be in about in the middle of my frame instead of being even with the bottom or below the frame and if its any lower my fan will be alittle below the radiator
     
  7. I think the low angle pics are making it look high. can you take some from higher up and further away?
