alright rb20 owners... i am wondering if anyone has a longblock they could take some quick measurements for me. I would like to know the length of the block from the trans bellhousing to the motor mounts, and then from the mount to the front of the block.

also a picture of where the mount bolts to the block


just trying to see how similar it is to my l series engine

thanks

josh

Ive seen a few of those. I was tempted back when I had an L28et and an s13.

IIRC it bolts to the stock KA trans. Although I'd use an RB20 trans, with a ka bell housing that way the motor is a little further back and it bolts up.

Its been done before and its a tight squeeze for cooling stuffs. What more is there to know?

only way i saw it donw was with a r32 crossmember.... ive been looking for a good year and cant find one.

so i want to see how similar the mounting locations are to the RB, so i can buy mounts instead of making custom ones

my one buddy has access to a machine shop with all the goodies to make custom stuff so its not a big deal but id like it to be as "bolt in" as possible.

im using a KA trans with an l28 bellowhousing swap
