[V8Vairs] engine height ??

[Al Kidd]

With a crown install there really are no drive angles.  The diff is attached
to the engine and if you keep the diff at the same height as stock you will
be fine.  I used a dead corvair engine block as my aligning tool for the
front rear measurement.  I bolted the block to the diff and then the engine
mount to the car.  That kept the diff in the same position as it was from
the factory.

 

Hope this helps.  FWIW I think the crown manual has a write up on it.

Hello, I have a question concerning My 66 monza "Crown style" conversion. I
am trying to build it from scratch and have the motor, tranny, and diff.
mounted in the car temporarily with the factory block bolted behind for a
guide using the factory rear engine mount. I am now trying to build a cross
member for the V8(5.3L block from a 2002 chev 1/2 ton ). My question is how
high should the block be to keep all the factory drive angles? (Distance
from crank center line to floor pan, or rocker panels )    Any help
appreciated. Thanx                               Trevor Mclaren   Canada eh
