srt 10 truck engine
Okay, I figured out the distances w/o a slanty.
The measurement I got from the bell/trans mating surfaces to the radiator yoke is 36.5", using the '74 Duster with a 360/727 trans sitting in it.
The distance from the V-10's trans flange to the damper/pully face is 34 inches.
Given that you need @ 3 inches of the total for a radiator, it's not fitting without moving the radiator in front of the radiator yoke, which could be done by mounting the core backwards in the brackets, like older Imperials did.
You'd then have grille and hood support mounting issues.
Pin the hood and ditch the grille? :D.
There are 2 "maybes" on this:
1)There appears to be an inch of room behind the block to the firewall, so a person could re-work a stock trans mount to move it back that inch to the firewall.
2)The damper/pully assemby extends @ least 3 inches further forward than most I've seen, possibly a shorter custom damper could be made, along with accessory brackets for the alternator and power steering.
It MIGHT be possible to make LA v-belt pieces work.
I'm actually thinking it wouldn't be a horrible thing to mount in with a Diesel 727 auto, as the measurements won't change from a 360 w/727.
It's just the pan and height clearances that are unknown, now.
Mounts would actually be fairly easy if the height were to come in right.
See the pics posted here for the basics of what is available to work with as far as mounts, exhaust manifold and the damper set-up.
Mark.
