      I placed a 2006 5.7 Hemi under the hood which ment I had to make my own firewall because even big block after market firewallws wern't wide enough or go back far enough for that motor. And of course that set up a lot of other opportunities for further mods like building a floor and dash from scratch. It will be a very expensive and long project but I would almost bet my life that nobody else will have a car quite like it any where. I also cut the sides off the hood and made mounts for them using the original latches then welded the hood together down the middle and made a frame for it and hinged it in the back so it will open like a modern day car. I think I have more time in the hood then I do any other part of the car.

      It's great to see a ford with something other than a chevy in it, my present 36 project started in the same condition as yours, if not a little worse. I've got a 351C in mine, and probably running into the same challenges as you had. Did you stay with the 36 frame?

      I imagine you will be running into some of the same challenges with that motor. No I didn't use the original frame but if I had known then what I know now I would have. At least the fron half. I actually used the frame out of a 2002 ford explorer because I liked the independent rear suspension set up. But that took a whole lot of modification of its own to make it work and it only worked because my whole floor needed to be replaced.
