Hey guys, New guy here. I'm swapping a 2017 5.7 8ZF into a 66 New Yorker. Its been quite the challenge to even get it between the frame rails, but we are there now and trying to get the engine into the correct position. Unfortunately the engine that was pulled was pretty bodged into the car, all the mounts were in pieces and we weren't able to pull a very good Chinese blueprint.
I'll readily admit I'm not a die hard Mopar guy, but on other makes in this era, the engine could be set off to the passenger side for extra clearance for controls, steering etc. Is that true on these? Is so does anyone know the distance and refence points? I have some blue prints for 1st gen Camaros that show the drivetrain installed in a frame and the angles/distances etc. Do these exist for a 66 New Yorker?
Thanks
