    I need some help from the HAMB collective. If any one has an FE powered 1960 T-Bird, could you please take two measurements for me.

    1. The distance from the back of the drivers side cylinder head to the fire wall. See image below.

    2. The distance that the expansion tank should be below the top of the fenders if you put a straight edge across the fenders at the front of the expansion tank.

    I am installing this engine into a car for the owner who had a Cr*** V** front suspension installed. The crossmember and oil pan want to share the same space, and I don't have the hood either (still at the body shop, some 750 miles away). Just trying to figure out how much surgery is going to be needed to get this to all fit together.
