I must find a way to rip that mustang out from under that and get my Montego, with the hood off underneath the engine before it gets into the engine bay and without them knowing....

Lots of butter required here.

Photo shoot fail. Wonder how they plan on getting that engine past the firewall brace. Also, no fender covers? And why is the nice hood just sitting in harms' way with a tire resting on it? Great cars though, I'll take the '69.

Butter ain't gonna cut it; time to get the Crisco

It can get past the firewall brace, but there's sure as hell a reason many swaps have axed it - it's very tight. Smarter to do with the radiator out. Also, only factory 428s really have the room between the shock towers for an OHC modular of any sort short of shenanigans. Common shenanigans, but shenanigans nonetheless, and they usually involve going to a bolt-on brace as well...

As a resident of the 508 area code, I approve this post, and anything else with massive Ford cubic inches.

I've only ever wrenched on a couple of old 'Stangs, thanks for the info. That looks like a bolt-on to me, especially because it's chromed.

I only know because I've measured the shock tower width on my Ranchero (same inner fenders/subframe rails with some caveats - did get a touch wider at the narrowest pinch but not much) and have looked up the dimensions of most of these blocks. It's also relatively well known the 428 needed help getting in in the form of inner fender editing. IIRC, the 428 still has a pair of braces from the factory, though.

Hahah so right
