Help measure engine position

Brule · 10-19-2018, 08:37 PM

Hey I'm starting to work on installing a single turbo and need help with the position of the block.

I do not have a transmission and the engine has just been chocked in a random position.

Can anyone give me there measurements in these photos?

The measure ment I need is from the sump edge where the gasket is perpindicular to the aluminium subframe.

or any other reference points?[IMG]undefined[/IMG][IMG]undefined[/IMG][IMG]undefined[/IMG]

First image is similar position to your first measurement, second measurement is on the other side of the beam of the subframe towards the rear of the car
