sounds like you better set a dead motor and gutted trans on some wood blocks ,with the body on, and play with it until you like it. each custom application is going to have its own variables so doubt you are going to get some number that work from some one else. put up some pics and the folks here will offer some guidance as to where it should be

I have a totally trashed block that I saved to put in my 32 chassis to weld around, bolt up headers to and not worry.

Sorry fellas, it seems I cannot express myself well. All I am looking for is a dimension of the original location of a V8 engine in a 32 frame (front to rear). My frame is set up with the motor mounts located 9" back from the radiator bolt hole. I am trying to determine the setback, if any.
Thanks to all for your input.
