Yeah I want to, the only thing that will hold me back a little would be the motor mounts, but ill figure it out.

I donno if u really have to do much to them... They should move enough

LilChief87 · « **Reply #162 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 09:50:12 AM »

i think the same as joey

AaronB · « **Reply #163 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 02:02:06 PM »

this is as good as its going to get without lifting the motor.

Ramrod · « **Reply #164 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 07:41:19 PM »

that's the same thing I said. the problem is the motor would be at a bad angle and the oil wouldn't distribute right. Ill have to lift the motor, which means the motor mounts will have to be re fabbed, which means the hood would have to go.

AaronB · « **Reply #166 on:** Nov 30, 2008, 04:36:35 PM »

got the flat belly started, bunch of cutting went through 3 cut off wheels.

AaronB · « **Reply #167 on:** Nov 30, 2008, 04:37:36 PM »

here you can see its flat

AaronB · « **Reply #168 on:** Nov 30, 2008, 04:39:43 PM »

but here is the problem, the motor is about 7deg. to high in the back.

joey0712 · « **Reply #169 on:** Nov 30, 2008, 07:02:56 PM »

I keep forgettin u got that small block in there...... Cuz a guy i know did a flatbelly with a 22re without touching the motor mounts...... thats a pita if ya gotta move them

yeah, a lot of guys with stock motors have left the mounts alone. But from what i've been told the chevys need to be level.
