Engine max width
|
|
I have a '56 354 Chrysler that I want to squeeze into a '39 Ford. I need to know the maximum width across the stock sheetmetal "FirePower" valve covers and the distance from this widest point back to the bellhousing mounting face. Since it's a '56, it's a short bellhousing block.
I looked for width dimensions on the web but found nothing. If someone knows a source for this info, please post it here. I'd measure it myself but my engine is totally disassembled.
The Ford has an aftermarket firewall sized to accept a big block Chevy. I know the Hemi is wider than a BBC, but the firewall recess is wider at the front so the Hemi will fit at least part of the way back. I'm trying to estimate how far back.
Thanks.
