It's a tight squeeze for the motor and radiator but you can run a fan. I recessed my firewall and run a clutch fan and here is more room if I needed it. Wish my truck wasn't hacked so I coud of just used a mustang II like you did. 56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d

What are you going to used for gauges? The gauge panel area almost a .25" thick. Unless you cut the whole cluster get the plasma out and it's still a fight. 56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d
