For the record, this thread went from "how do I bolt a SBC into a Ranger" to "I'ma buy a Camaro".

Explanation>>>

actually i think you have it backwards if it did not go behind the water pump, but did go behind the other accessories wouldn't that throw off the pullies? and what about your transmission input shaft, you are adding an extra distance when you sandwich the mount between the engine block and the bellhousing.

using a 2-piece isn't unique its usually the only viable way to do it on the front (see mine was 2 piece) what i meant by "unique" was didn't you rig the ford parts to run off of the chev motor? and to make it work didn't you have to use v-belts?. and the thickness of most plate setups is usually 3/16" to 1/4" which is less than most off-set increments that are available for factory pulley setups so buying different pullies to make it work is a little tougher too

doing all of that is exactly what i meant by "affecting" the from accessory drive

=========================================
If you use a MP that goes behind the WP, it will make your pulleys sit farther forward than the crankshaft pulley & any accessories you have.

I don't have any accessories on mine, it's manual steerin, and have no use for air in this TOY.

Yes, I run V-belts, don't like the serpentine setups.....Just person preference.

I meant mine was unique as in, "not store bought", I made it.

Most MP applications also include a plate between the bellhousin & the engine, so no added stress. I don't run one of those, but I do have a solid trans mount and I haven't had any trouble.
