Installing a 302 (345 HP) Ford Crate Motor in a 40 Ford Coupe--Questions

Sounds like a great car, the new engine should give it just a little more pep.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

The fact that your car/frame/suspension is more or less a custom fabrication effort, makes if real unlikely that any one can give a 100% answer to anything you mentioned. Since you are staying with the same engine family, the good news (as you already know) is that everything should bolt on. However, the inches and millimeters of what fits and where, is likely to be trial and error mockups. I have never really seen any 2 hot rods that were alike as far as what fits. There are just too many options. Hope someone can give you an answer?
