James,
Report from Balmy San Francisco,1/4 mile from the ocean @ 50.5 Degrees...
1971 145-S
A little difficult to do exactly at the steering box with the engine in.
Two inches foreward,I can place two sticks in a straight line,and I
get 21 & 13/16 inches. However there are gussets wrapped around
the front frame rails where the box and idler bolt up,so I would call it
21 & 3/4 inches Inside Dimension.
Pulling outside to outside on the rails gets 26".
Center to center of foreward front cross-member mounting bolts looks like 24 inches.

Off topic; the V8 guys seem to blow the 240 rear ends above 300 hp.
From what I have heard.
Howsa'bout a 300 hp,16V white block/900 trans?
Did you see the B30 Mega-squirt thread?
