Dimensions of a VP motor

[maddog]

Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone has this info handy, or has a motor out of a car that they can do some measurements on. I'm after as much info on the dimensions of a VP motor as possible. The most critical measurements are:

(note: all measurements need to be for the motor only, not oncluding gearbox)

- length from front most point of motor to rear most point of motor
- width from far left of motor to far right
- height of motor from lowest to highest point
- distance of engine mounts from frontmost, rearmost and side points of engine

Thanks heaps

all these measurements are from the harmonic balencer bolt
length 55cm
width 60 cm (30 cm each side of bolt)
height 69 cm from bottom of sump to top of throtle linkage
eng mounts from front 24cm, rear 31, 28cm either side of bolt. that is for the centre of the mounting bracket that is still attached to the motor, the mounts are gone
hope this helps. they will be close but probably not deadly accurate.
