The following should be useful.
Andy,
As you requested: (from my pre '86 chevy 350 cu. in.)
-CL of crank to intake manifold mounting flange = 10 1/4"
-CL of crank to carb flange on intake (Edel. Perf) = 14"
-CL of crank to top of air filter (14" Moroso) = 19 5/8" (note: this one is critical to get the engine lid to close even with the rain guard and brace removed. You have about 1/2 to 3/4" clearance with this selection of parts.
-Cooling water inlet flanges on front of block to rear of block = 21 11/16"
-Front of harmonic balancer to rear of block = 24 3/16" (Note: this is with Renegade's harmonic balancer using their serpentine belt, no other pulleys attach forward of HB........this is the most protruding piece on front of engine). I'm not sure of if the balancer dimension is different if not fitting the car with a/c.
Note: rear of block means just that.......no adapter plate or other piece of equipment installed.
John

John,
Would you be so kind as to post the same dimensions that Pat did?
Also, some vertical measurement would be very helpful, such as crank
c/l to intake manifold mounting surface, and crank c/l to top of air
cleaner. I made a table for all the dimesions, but I can't figure out
how to make it as an attachment. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andy

back face of the block (the face that mates to the trans) it is 23"
to the water inlets on the front of the timing cover. From the same
point on the block to the front of the harmonic balancer it is 25-
3/4". To the front of the crank pulley it is 28". The distance from
the rear face of the block to the water inlets on the front of the
block is about 21". The timing cover is 2" thick. This particular
engine is a 1990 H.O. out of a mustang.
