It fits pretty good after you remove enough stuff. I've had it sit in there eactly where I wanted it and I have plenty of clearance. Once my 2x3's are in I will be ready to put in the motor mounts and fab up the trans cross member. It is wider then a 454 by about an inch. Steering and brakes will take some work, but don't look too bad.

Did he go with single or duel cam? Dual is 35 inches wide. I looked at those and was concerned about space. Single is 30 inches. |

So you're going with a Mustang II style front suspension, or something else... removing the spring towers? I know there is only 24" where the stock upper arms bolt on, but that is still low in the engine compartment. I don't think there is another 7" (would leave 1/2" of clearance on each side) up where the outside edges would be though.

Yes, I already installed the mustang II crossmember and fitted the control arms spindles hubs and wheels. Track with it around 5/8 inch wider on each side. Which it needed. My 7 inch wide magnum 500 sets perfectly in the wheel house now.
