    I saw a magazine article years ago where they opened up the towers on something like a 60 Falcon by taking a slice out of the insides to remove the rounded portion. Then they welded a flattened out section in that area that was actually inset somewhat. It gave a lot of room and I think they installed a 427 in there. Maybe something like that would work.
