I could not wait for N8 to help, so I did a test fit of the 425 cu.in. Cadillac engine into my 58 Scotsman by myself. No major issues anywhere, I just need to make a couple of flat plates for the front mount, make a rear X member for the trans mount and tweak the alignment. I'll flip the mounts over to drop the engine another inch. Pix:
I have maybe 8 inches of clearance, look at the top of the firewall. It is a truck after all.
