The 289 is about the same length, it's just all the peripherals! The crank pulley and water pump stick out too far for the radiator to be in front. My friend said he has never seen a ford small block in a 122 or 1800, he had the car and I got tons of engines.

He said he had seen the aluminum Buick/rover engine in one, but not a ford. The engine part was pretty easy, exhaust is very tight, I'm making custom long tube headers for it. Below are all the albums so far. next week I have to pick up the radiator, and go to a U pull it and find an emergency brake handle, and maybe console. I haven't exactly figured out how the latch will work yet, I got to start mocking things up and see. The picture had the filler for the radiator off to one side, that would be awesome, but I fear it will be centered. I also need to separate the front panel, it has rust and dents. The inner fillers will have to be modified.

Soon, I can get to the fun stuff, paint work! I'm guessing html is ok in here?
