John,
Welcome to the site from Michigan. Try sending Ron of RPM a personal message. He can probably make what you need.

I.M.O. the front is extremely high. I would try lowering the front so the balancer is between the frame rails and lowering the rear trans about an inch or two. Relocating mtr. mounts would have to be done. As long as you have ground clearance for the oil pans, say 6"+ get that engine as low as possible. Only my thoughts .

We did a 153 Chevy II motor awhile back and the mount looked almost the same. Let me see if I can find the pattern for them.

ok ,thanks

 

[Jhexide]

this working..???

We did not save that pattern for the 4 cyl. If you can take the measurements we can cut it out for you.

 

[Jhexide]

ok, thanks i will do that ,

Looks like tranny mount is in lowering front might screw up driveshaft alignment. On these shaft is so short not much angle to play with.

Hey Ron ,can i drill out a cast pitman arm,for my vega box, my steerting arms take 5/8 heim ,and bolts and the hole is too small

I thought all GM factory steering arms are forged (Vega & Corvair).

Yea I thought so too. As to drilling it out, I don't see why not. We drill the forged ones all the time, with no problem.
