Need help [:-].
First of all this car had a stright six engine.
now in the process of installing a BBC engine. I done the suspension to suport the extra weight
the motor mounts for this engine I don't know what to get and aslo the motor mount brackets.
The water pump should I get a short or long water pump ?. [X(]
I needpic of the motor mounts and barackets.

 

You need to change the engine frame mount brackets, as well as getting the proper motor mounts. Go to www.classicindustries.comand search for part #E304 (pair of frame mounts) and part #T82285 (motor mount). The long style water pump became standard issue in 69 (except in Vettes), so you shouldn't have any clearance issues.

 

Thank you for the information on the barakets and the water pump. I bought the short water pump already, I'llexchanget it for the long style. On adjusting the valve clearance with hydraulic lifters do you know the procedure ?.

 

Unfortuantly asking a how do I question will warrant you about 100 replys and half of them will contradict each other. As always, you can contact, do a web search from the equipment manufacturer and most of the time they post instructions, maily to cover their ... for warranty reasons.

Here is my 2 cents.

A. Install your roller lifters using fresh clean oil on the lifter and the lifter bore just prior to installing. Check to make sure all lifters fit freely in lifter bores.

B. Install pushrods with lube on both ends, making sure the pushrod tip hits the center of the lifter cup. Install rocker arms, but do not tighten the adjusting nuts. You are now ready to start valve adjustment.

C. Turn the engine over until the No. 1 cylinder is at TDC firing position (Both #1 lifters are down in the lifter bores and cylinder #6 are up). At this point, adjust exhaust valves on cylinder numbers 1, 3, 4, 8 and intake valves on cylinder numbers 1, 2, 5, 7 to zero clearance between rocker arm and valve tip. This is “zero lash”. While tightening the adjusting nut, spin the pushrod between your thumb and forefinger.
When you feel resistance, you are at zero lash. From this point, turn adjusting nut down (clock-wise) Âľ to 1 turn more for final adjustment.
D. Turn the engine over one full turn, until #6 cylinder is at TDC firing position, and adjust the exhaust valves on cylinder numbers 2, 5, 6, 7 and the intake valves on cylinders 3, 4, 6,8 as described in step “C”. The valves are now adjusted.

 

what SS396 said is pretty much it, in a nutshell. I vary my procedure a little than him, but like he said, everyone is different
