Engine Height

[A70Runner]

I’ve searched for measurements but can only find left to right ones. Not sure my car has the correct engine mounts.(They are solid and came with the car years ago. Does the gap look correct from the oil pan to kframe? The measurement is center of crank bolt to kframe. 1970 Road Runner with a 440. Thanks!

Yes it does to me. It's really tight. When I changed the oil pan on my charger to a bigger one without pulling the engine I had to dislocate an break a couple bones in my fingers to get all the bolts started.

I kid of course, kinda.

I was kinda hopeful it should be lower….

Thank You! I measure 6” on my car which is 3/4” to high. That explains a lot.

K-frame to crank c/l is 5-1/4”

Does anyone have an engine mount bracket dimension chart? Not sure I have the correct brackets…

And yes I know they have solid mounts…

I had a set of those. Get rid of them.

Why is that?

Do you really need solid motor mounts ???

They worked pretty good when I would dump the clutch at 5500 rpm on the starting line with the old setup…new engine has a lot more power but is now an automatic. So who knows. lol.

Problem is engine sits 3/4” to high and air cleaner hits air grabber hood. Hood is new to car.

There are some really good mount available now that are not solid. I bought a set a few years back in Carlisle - polyurethane instear of rubber and locking tabs to limit the movement.
