COE Engine Out

Well I took out the engine yesterday

 

I didn't know the engine would fit through the grill opening. That makes thing a lot easier. Now I wonder if a 289/302 Ford engine will fit through the grill. That is the smallest modern Ford V8 engine I know of and plan on using.

 

Yes it will, thats what I am fitting a SBF 302.

 

Hey Al, did you get the 302 mounted yet? I was wondering if the original dog house would still work.

 

I havent yet, unfortunatly I've been ill for about three weeks and its put me back a little.
I have done quite a lot of measuring and I am pretty certain that the unit will fit in the dog house.
I am getting back into the swing of it again now, so I will let you know.

 

Thanks. What transmission are you going with?

 

Even if the SBF will clear the doghouse, but headers may not. You may have to run cast iron manifolds.
