Having trouble centering motor. looking for the distance between the passenger side frame raIL (near plastic flap) to center of crank bolt. Also if possible same measurement to the drivers side. it would really make my day if I can get measurements from somebody with a completely stock car and also measurements from somebody with a qa1 K member. Thank you everyone appreciate your effort

Unless your kmember is tweaked or bad mounts It should be centered once on the mounts

normally I would assume so but it seems like the water pump bolt is what centered on this motor and not the crank. that's why I'm looking for the measurements off the frame raIL so I could figure out what's tweaked if anything or I'm being crazy. tons of clearance between the drivers side side header and the body but no clearance in the passenger side

Do you have a picture , of your clearance problems ?

Do you have the motor mounts swapped by chance , left on right , right on left .
I know it is not the same, but I swapped complete 01 Cobra K member with the 4.6 four cam , into a 91 Fox coupe , with not problems .
Everything lined up perfectly.

The header locations sound about right...passenger side is really close to the rail compared to the driver side

there's nothing you will be able to distinguish from photos I just need those measurements please from somebody with a stock k memeber and from someone with a qa1 K member. I can get my hand between the driver side header and the frame rail but there is zero clearance on the passenger side as it dented my header
