I actually am moving the rear end back a inch or two, this will put the motor plate right at the location of the uprights.
 Oh and I did grind the block slightly,now the block centers in the chasis.
     Thanks Guys,

Front Engine Dragsters / motor location

Hi everyone,
     Ive been lurking here for a while, now I need to ask a question. I bought a chassis, 160" car,tacked together. Well after welding the chassis together, its time to install the rear end and motor plate and mounts. Anyway, I'm not getting any real help from the chassis builder, so I'm hoping to get help from the forum.I enclosed a few pictures, in one of the pictures you can see where the boss on the side of the block is hitting the frame. Oh I was tolg that the motor should be 39"out with a standard length glide. Is there a simple cure?
  Thanks in advance,
