Engine location for S/G

Jim Hughes · 05-08-2015, 10:04 AM

Good Morning.
I am building a S/G 1960 Falcon 2 door wagon. 533 BBF and C4. S&W tube chassis 2x3 frame w a-arms. Body is just outside shell for now, no firewall yet. I want ideas for best engine set back in relationship with center line of front spindle. Some say front motor plate should be even with spindle and 12" crank C/L to ground measurement. I have had suggestions for crank C/L to grond from 9'5 to 13". Also Crank should be level to ground.
Please share your ideas and opinions.
Thanks
