Some frames have a cross member that will either hit or cause you to raise the motor because the Fords normally run the oil sump in the front, If your chassis is like mine, there isn't a problem with a crossmember in the way. I did a 47 pickup years ago and while it would clear the crossmember, the front axle would hit the sump on a big bump, but back then there wasn't any front sump and pickup from ford. You had to do your own.

This is where mock-up will be critical for you. And some of the guys here that are building the same style right now may save you some time and effort as they may have gone through the issue(s) already.
