    several mods will have to be made due to the front end already on the car. The guy who built the car has replaced the front end with what looks like a fabricated frame with mustangII suspension parts that have also been modified. With the added weight and with of the engine i will not be a simple drop in,,, not that any are with mav. I hate it but i am sure the engine will sit on the engine stand many nights before the car is ready for it.
