More info from yahoo board on engine clearances.
Phillip,
If you were sitting in car, a/c compressor is on passenger side. Center of a/c compressor is about 1" offset (right) from center of dimple.
Center of water pump (drivers side) is offset (right) about 3" from center of dimple.
Hope this made sense. Both accessories are offset to the right side of dimple. The water pump is just offset more.
John

Phillip,
Attached is water pump pulley to lower bulkhead on drivers side. My other pics are kind of dark.......let me try another photo session tomorrow. If you have a particular angle your looking for, let me know.

Do you have any pictures of the other equipment on the front of the engine in relation to clearance to the fire wall?
Thank You!!!!!

Drivetrain has been installed and I've attached a few pics to show the clearance between harmonic balancer and bulkhead (2-3/8") as well as center of thermostat housing to upper bulkhead (5"). This is pre '86 SBC in a '73 914 using Renegade Hybrids serpentine belt and harmonic balancer.
A previous post listed center of crankshaft to top of intake on a EFI 5.0L. This dimension appears to be the same for the SBC using carburetor. I'd check the total footprint of the Ford EFI intake and make sure there are no interference's in the rear bulk head (where the SBC distributor is located)..........this area is tight in a 914.
Now, somebody stuff a 5.0L in a 914! : )

Darrin,
The SBC is being used as a reference. Since no one had a ford engine installed in a 914, my engine was being used to identify clerances.

Did I miss something in this thread? Those pics look like a SBC not a SBF?!?

Mike,
Just so we are clear on what you want measured, I'll attach a couple of pics so there is no confusion.
The "plates" attached to block are different in length due to the number of accessories they support. If you need this measurement (total width of front assemble), give me a day or so when I have these reattached. These plates are just a little over 3/8" thick.
The harmonic balancer is the most forward piece. It sticks out 2-3/8" from the water inlet/outlet ports on front of block.

How long are the renegade water plates that route water from the block? How far do they extend out from mounting face?
With all the kit parts installed what item is the farthest forward?
