Projects 1953 mercury engine swap

Recently bought a 53 Mercury. No motor or transmission. Engine compartment looks pretty tight with the way the steering box and steering cross link goes across. Has anyone put a 351 or later 4.6 mod motor in one? Any help appreciated.
Thanks

 

Do yourself a big favor and click on this: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/social-forums/1952-59-ford-social-group.282/ When you get there do an intro like above and we can direct you to a HUGE information site the members have put together,you will be surprised how EZ this swap will be.

 

Don't even think about a Mod motor... it's way too wide. A Windsor motor will fit much better....

 

Pretty sure a flathead would fit nicely...

 

The flathead was long gone before I got the car.

From what I was measuring I thought the mod would be too wide

Jeff thanks I will check that group out
