Hey guys....Can anyone tell me what the clearance needs to be between the oil pan and '89-95 IFS front axle? Just enough to fit, or should there be a couple inches between the two.

If your curious, I'm doing a Chevy v8 (383) swap. Making my own motor mounts. Low profile Chevy oil pan.

 

well the ifs doesn't really move, but i'd put some space there just cause of the heat from the motor but that probably doesn't matter.

 

Thanks!

 

I want to say mine only has 1 to 1 1/2" clearance. Are you using a through bolt style of motor mount? Something that if the rubber/polyurethane wears out the engine couldn't settle more than 1/2" or so?

 

OH yeah....good point. didnt think of that. The motor mounts are bolt-on from the donor truck, and i'll weld them to the toy frame. And yeah, theyre rubber....and used.
