Nick,

I have the centerline dimensions, I need the front to back dimension. I'm not sure the motor mounts on the 351 are the same location on the block as they are on the 427 and what distance the motor needs to be set back from the front crossmember centerline.
Obviously, this will affect weight bias as well as locating the transmission mount, shifter location, driveline length, etc...
After measuring with the CR location, I come up with approx. 15" driveline, which seems long? However, I'm not versed enough to know for sure and don't want to make a major mistake at this stage.

Thanks, Bob
