Help, I need a dimension from a 67 or 68.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone of you with a 67 or 68 ,without an engine, can help me out. I need the dimension from the top of your motor mount to a straight line even with the top of your fenders. I need to see where I'm at with fitment of my 347. My car is under a car cover covered with snow! I worked on the 347 all day today. Just one snag though. The stud girdle I purchased from Parts Unlimited didn't come with spacers for the main caps. Not only that, the oil pan I purchased from them was not welded completely and had a 1/4" or so hole in it. They sell chinese garbage on e-bay. I e-mailed them 2 times a month apart with no response. DON'T BUY FROM THESE CLOWNS! I will be buying a new stud girdle tomorrow. I did buy a alcohol injection system (AIS)for the blower and a MSD 6BTM w/boost retard this weekend. Other than that, here's where I'm at.

I was going to suggest you deal with Jegs or Summit for the performance parts. I have had good service from both even down here... and I'm guessing that i'mone of the few members who is even further from the parts sources than you

I never understood the hype about ebay.
I know someone that bought a pair of 'new' heads there and found a crack in one of them.
I told him that Jegs had the same heads in stock and he should just order them and be done with it but he wanted a better 'deal' through ebay.
I don't get it.

I have ordered thousands of dollars of merchandise from Summit. This is just one of those deals that I seen and tried to save a buck. The temps are around 10 deg today. Now last week was a totally different story. Last Monday on my way to work the temp sign in town read -25. It stayed that way for about two weeks. This is the first year the water lines in the house froze.
