Re: Why does my motor sit back so far?
 

It looks like your engine mounts are bolted to the rear frame mount holes. You should be able to move it foward about 2 or 3 inches into the foward holes. The trans cross member will have to be moved also. And then comes the drive shaft.

if you have a stock 400 crank, it would be externally balanced and would require a harmonic dampner and flex plate for a 400 crank. they have balancing weights affixed to them. you could check these two visually. on the other hand, you would not want a 400 flexplate or dampner on a 350 crank.

Ok Im confussed is it a 350 or a 383?
If its 383 than thats a 350 block and 400 crank right? as a 400 block and 350 crank would be a 373......aahh 373 I really miss that moter vroooooooooom!

400 block, 350 crank equals a 377.
