Does anyone know the height of these post if using a SBF 351w block ,and also the distance from axle center line to get the proper weight distribution on all four tires.

The other issue is motor mounts, does anyone sell motor mounts for a sbf that will bolt to the existing posts.

Thanks in advance ,great site.
Nick Acton (Mickmate here on the forum) hs the proper motor mounts for your car. You will have to cut the old ones out and weld the new ones in though.
