SR20 Forward Positioning

Post by brianstj »

I am having some commitment issues with permanently setting the SR20 in my frame. I set up a photo album showing where things are sitting on my third test fit:

The biggest thing I am iffy on is the forward position. I have everything set up based (loosely) on the shifter position inside the car. I just don't know if I am going to run in to any big clearance problems if I am a little shifted to the front or back, and I have not been able to find any reference measurements. My pictures look pretty close to the "BOB" swap, but it is hard to tell how close I really am.

If anyone has any advise based on my pictures, or if anyone can give me a reference dimension for a sanity check (like the front pulley to front frame member) I would really appreciate it!

I will try to post some pics for you soon.
If you have not cut thr notch in the X member wait to see my pics.
I use the stock crossmember and mount no cutting of the X is involved.
PM me and we can exchange numbers email addresses and talk.
