new info:

after putting real life measurements to the test the width is fine, the height is really no problem and the length could be better but all in all its WAY more feasible than the ls1 idea.

302 with iron block and aluminum heads = 419 lbs minus accesories/manifolds.

i'm lookin to get a used 5.0 for like 500 or so and mate it to the T56 so i wont have to get two custom shafts made. i'll have a brand new 6speed AND can rock more power while i save up for the GT40 motor then just swap that hoe over when its built.

this plan is still much cheaper and easier than doing an ls1 swap (plus ford motors just plain sound better).

im goin to check out used motors this weekend.
