what measurements do you want, and why would you need them, where an engine sits, and how is solely up to how you want your car setup.

the Stars have finally aligned and i got to put the motor back together, hopfully finish it up either monday or tuesday, I guess we'll see. (dont have a Allen bit to finish torqueing the head....)

after some fresh paint, mounts ect put on...



put the Ti hardware in the new head from the old ported head.



pistons in and torqued





and with the front cover and valve cover mocked on after putting the head on and not torquing it yet....errr





once the head is torqued it will be back together and i'll stick the turbo setup and intake and and it'll be back in she goes.
