SBC motor mount width and height

[Sands]

Wondering if anybody knows the motor mount width and the crank height above the mount location for a small block chevy based marine engine?

[Sands]

Anybody?

Well, what I can tell you is my current boat has engine bearers that are 8" tall, and that the oil pan sets roughly 4" to 5" off the hull bottom. As far as the crank height, my best guess is that it's almost in line with the top of the mounts. HOPE THIS HELPS.



Best Regards

After rereading your question, it seems like your looking for the mount width not it's height. I just happen to have a brand new 5.7 volvo-penta in the garage. So if you need any specific measurements just post with new info.
And I'll take the box off in the am and get those figures for you.

That would be great!

Hey sands, how goes it? Sorry for the delay, but My project just went into paint phase and the prep work has been a little daunting.

Anyway the actual mount width is 2-1/4" and they are appox 25" apart outside edge to outside edge.

And the crank appears to be in line with the top of the mount where the rubber sections seperate the two halves.

Hope this is helpful, the motor is still in the crate and is difficult to measure



lots of luck
