Engine plate pattern.

[428 GALAXIE]

Does anyone have drawing of the engine plate. Intressed of the starter location and the starter bolt hole locations.
If someone has blueprints or made their own accurate measures and dxf or similar drawings it would help.
I will do my own measurements later but I could sketch some of my idea's.
What am I doing well look powermaster starter and then look Toyota 3.0 diesel starter and then look again the powermaster.

Well, since nobody else answered...

I'd hit a junkyard with some heavy paper and a few lead pencils to copy a plate's dimensions with a rubbing:

Or, plop a FE block nose down, paint the clutch side's perimeter with a coat of cheap white paint and press on a piece of heavy cardboard to make a transfer copy.

i can transfer a blockplate to a paper and post it
cant cost that much to finland from sweden

Thanks Heo I'll keep that in mind.I have to yank the transmission out anyway at some point and then I can mock up the starter.

Little ot but having those days that makes you yell douughh.

Sorry about the serious OT. ..........

[Heo]

I feel for you. I Did that to my wifes 500sec Mercedes...The Aluminium hood was not
so nice after that   .... the wife was not nice either
But with the starter ...coggs meassured in inch uses Pitch and cogs meassured in metric
uses module but with a Japanese car you can not bee sure what they use so if the starter
cogs and the Ford cogs match im not sure..........

Wondered teeth match earlier too.Starter gear is so rounded that it shouldn't bee so picky.This is kind of shot in the dark thing.
Time or money wise this ain't sensible just something to tinker at work while machine runs it's program.

The Powermaster and other Nippondenso starters are for normal Japanese cars , just adapted to US engines. The Ford permanent magnet starters work too. Any 4 banger or V6 can be adapted. I used a 3.0L V8 one mounted upside down on my FE. I had to do some grinding on it and weld the ears to clock the solenoid away from the block.
