Crank Pulley to Center Link Clearance
 
1 Attachment(s)
Looking for some help on a clearance measurement. With a stock 350 SBC, how much clearance is there from the steering center link to the bottom of the crank pulley? I raised my steering components with a pancaked crossmember and I think it's going to be close now.

you can always go with a smaller damper if needed

My ‘70, with a 350SBC, in the original (307) position, has approx. 1-1/4” clearance to the front of the oil pan. My 8” damper is forward of the center link. Hope this helps

Thanks for this. I think I found a solution to move the block back just enough to clear the pan and balancer. These are adjustable engine block mounting plates.
