25” wide over the rocker covers
25” long from flywheel housing to front water pump pulley
Kenny estimated 18” long if using an electric water pump
31” tall from sump to top of inlet trumpets
Appx. 7.75-8” from sump to crank centerline (a tough one to measure inside the box)
I just took some measurements.
Why hadn't I rushed out there in the middle of the night or whatever the first opportunity was? There's a simple answer to that, The Dripps/Gibby motor is going in the Spirit of Sunshine whatever the hurdles so measurement wise there was to be no bad news and I'd had around about as much good news as I could handle in one week......
I measured from the top of the lower frame tubes to the top of the firewall, that is slightly above the top of the cowl at the motor but lower that the top of the scoop.
This shot shows the lower frame tubes, floor and engine mounts
Looking at this pic you can see where we chopped out what was probably an un-necessary cross member so we could extend our wet sump.
BTW those engine mounts are surplus to requirements as the Dripps/Gibby motor has an engine plate, the good news on that is that it may allow us to combine the headers on the D/G motor with the collectors we currently have and avoid having to fabricate an entire set of headers (just in case you think you are seeing things there is a piece of polished stainless in the middle of this shot....)
It measured 31.2 inches, so taking the extra 1&3/4 inch of the frame tube it looks kike the motor will sit below the scoop, that was my main concern. It also appears that the 25inch width will fit inside the cowl.
Thumbs up there......
