Yeah, I really want that Buck Rogers looking mill in the engine bay.
Another problem is the cam bumps will have to extend out of the engine bay and UNDER the front fenders.
Just another factor in figuring out the "just right" locational dimensions.
As has been seconded, these are large engines for the cubes within.
I have a 289 on the engine stand a few feet away, and it gets glances when I think about installing that 4.6.
I will give it another shot this weekend to see if it will really NOT work.
Anyone know who makes the THINNEST remote oil filter relocation fitting?
That is one part of the major hurdle of this install, the steering.
As of yet, the steering shaft and the oil filter are trying to share real estate.
If I continue down this self abuse path, I may wind up tapping the oil filter fitting on the block, foregoing the adapter used to relocate the filter.
Oh, and the steering column hits the center of the left head.
The joy we all live for.
More later.
