Does anyone have a schematic or dimensions for positioning a BBC with front and rear offshore mounts in a #6 slip in set up? I'm looking to double check engine placement and would like to have the real numbers to go from, rather than eyeball it.
I have searched the web and came up with zero on this.
Thanks,
Dave

The drive location determines the engine mounting placement. A drive alignment tool is used to find the location where the tool easily slips in And out of the gimbal. Then engine mounts are built to keep the engine in that location. It takes a lot of trial and error to get it right. There are no schematics only the mounting depth of the transmission tailstock inside the gimbal.

there isnt a gimbal bearing in a #6. I would think that merc should have a diagram depicting proper height and distance for the engine in order to be sure the drive shaft is aligned. i realize with the double universals it is a bit forgiving....
