Re: 1960 BBC Swap

I finally picked up the BBC, and am going to modify the mounts this weekend.

Here are some progress pics.





Wasnt really enough room to work so we pulled the front clip...



Also, cut out the cross member which was fun as the torsion bars are right there and the blades kept getting too close...



Next up is to position the mounts and fit them to my frame. I have two options, shim them up like this...


or cut them down so that the tops sit flush, I think to do that I would cut the bottom of them as they seem to be vertical and easy to put back together. However my question is would this put the motor too low?

Photo for reference


Edit: The images are tiny, here is a link to the album so you can zoom if you want. https://imgur.com/a/hjIlZ

Thanks,
Mike
