Re: ka24 mounts for clearance???
I believe many, myself included, use the KA upper engine mounts and the 510 rubber isolaters. You could mock that up and see what sort of clearance that gives you? The 510 mounts bolt into the lower holes on the crossmember.
I'd measure for ya but I'm away at school.

I also used the factory ka brackets on the last 3 KAs...
Re: ka24 mounts for clearance???
This has more to do with your particular mounting than a right or wrong way. The KA has a tilt, you need to be concerned about keeping the output shaft of the transmission high enough to avoid vibration from the driveshaft, and you need to make room for (or ignore) heater hoses, depending on your personal desires. There generally isn't an issue with hood clearance since the KA is not as tall as the L, even with the added block deck height.braveops wrote:thankz i but dont have the ka mounts anymore.trying to see how high and far ahead or back you all have them
