engine mount
 

I am going to put a small block in an s-10 and want to move the engine farther back and lower using motor plates. But I do not know how low to mount it. Where is it best for weight transfer? Any suggestions?

In the bed. :P

You can use various swap mount kits available anywhere and get it to the firewall, but the height is limited. If you're crafty, use a motor plate and mount it how you see fit. Personally, if it's going to be a street/strip rig get the swap mounts, their alot less of a headache.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Here's a place that is strictly swapped S-10's. Alot of good info there.
