If you're wondering about buying one can't you just ask a few sellers?

I have a complete AJ33S sitting on the floor of my shop.
The SuperCharger is not mounted but I can put a tap measure to it.

It is stuck in a corner so I can't draw a detailed blue-print of the thing.

Hi thank you so much that would be amazing to get some basic dimensions the main measurements i need are.

Engine height to highest point on cam covers.
length from rear of furthest head to front of crank pulley.
Width across heads at widest point.
And finally width of the sump unless it an S type sump then not to worry.

If you can help with any of these it would be greatly appreciated

many thanks Carl

The basic engine is really no different than the AJ26/AJ27 SuperCharged engine. The bore is the same, just the stroke is increased.

About 27" wide at the outside edges of the cam covers.(about 17" from the bottom of the oil pan)
About 24" long, torque converter drive plate to the front cover.(The crank damper sticks out farther)

I will measure more now that you posted requirements.
