Measuring,measuring, more measuring, some beard pulling and more measuring..im sure after that ill be measuring something again. Luckily i have a small pile of 350's to start with.
The 302 is about 32.5" from bellhousing to the center of the crank pulley belt groove. Ye old 350 is about 25"if i use an early single groove lower pulley. If lady luck smiles on me i will be able to make an appliance that picks up the block at the 4 1950' s front mount locations that ties into the stock engine mounts from the 302 so i can keep the generator and compressor mounts. Ill know more soon. I was thinking as long as the distributor clears the firewall there might be enough room to build in a small hydraulic motor to run off the steering pump to turn the stock genny, compressor and engine fan..excavator style. Then i could run a second alternator for god knows what purpose..it would be packed but might be doable. Ill report back soon. As far as grinding..delegate delegate delegate
