engine placement measurements?

[Peters02]

Does anyone know if there are measurements one must be aware of when positioning the engine on the mounts?
Distance from the k-member and Left/Right placement?

Just trying to get a sense of there are such tolerances...and that matter.
And part of the question is on how to get a bit more room on the Dr Side in order to better space the header pipe/torsion bar/starter.

Thank you.

I believe that TTI's header installation instructions require a check of the engine centerline, vs location in the engine bay, and the instructions provide the dimensions they're supposed to be.  I don't have a copy of those instructions in front of me...you might be able to download them from TTI's website.

Good idea.  I found the measurements on the TTI site. 
Thanks.

Factory Engine Location Specifications:  K-members are not all identical and the dimensions must be checked to ensure proper fit.   If necessary, place shims between the insulator assembly and the K-frame mounting pad to achieve the proper dimensions. 

63-66 "A"-body applications:  From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 4-3/4".  The engine is also offset 5/8" towards the passenger-side.  Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 1-1/4".

62-65 "B"-body applications:  From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-1/4".  The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side.  Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail. The difference should be 3".

67-76 "A"-body / 66-74 "B"-body / 70-74 "E"-body applications:  From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-1/4".  The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side.  Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail. The difference should be 2-1/2".

65-73 "C"-body applications:  From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-1/4".  The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side.  Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail. The difference should be 3-1/2".


Gen 3 Hemi Crate Engines (5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L) / 62-65 B-body applications with spool mounts:  From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 6-3/8" (to be determined). The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side.  Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 2-1/2" (to be determined).

Gen 3 Hemi Crate Engines (5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L) / 67-76 A-body / 66-74 B-body / 70-74 E-body applications:  From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-5/8" for A-bodies (5-7/8" with spool mounts) and 5-3/8" for B&E-bodies (6" with spool mounts). The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side.  Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 3-1/4" for A-bodies (2-3/8" with spool mounts) and 2-1/2" for B&E-bodies.

insulator assembly?

K-frame mounting pad?
