Sounds BAD A$$ to me WOOOOOO!!!! i would rocommend fitting the engine first and checking height You may be able to use a fiberglass cowl hood. I have a few connectons and I might be able(long shot) get a customed Fiberglassed hood made for you. I would go with a tub job as well. Those motors are torque monsters!!! I would also dare say a Six speed Transmission. I also have a few favors with a machinist buddy of mine. So if you can draw up plans he can make it for special brackets etc....... Since you are tired of your other Mavs i will glady take them off your hands for free...lol :) Good Luck Sam. Oh yea I think you will need to set the engine back some, those are aluminum engines but still nose heavy and pretty long. Why not try a 4.6l Cobra DOHC motor might be a little easier. :) You can by those strait out of the Motorsport catalog.I think they are based on the Mark VIII motor Steel Block however.
