I am restoring a 1954 Chevrolet. The motor and the original motor mounts have been removed. It was a quite a hatchet job and the original position of the welded motor mounts can not be determined. Can anyone provide the distance in inches from the front spark plug to the front spindle centerline. I know there might be other ways of determining the correct position of the original motor mounts, but I prefer this particular measurement. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated!!

 

If it is anything like the 55 the the mounts shound be obut 1 to 2 inches the most from the front of the block if trying to use original mounts. The holes will be vertical.
