Not a Ford expert-
But about 3" wider than a LS- and it's a rear sump. I'm thinking it won't be that tough.
This is a 78 w/ a blower- 2013 SEMA car...

Motor looks to sit pretty far forward
One heck of a project bring patience...and $$ to the table.
think youd be better off selling the pieces and dropping something else in there
That nose on the SEMA car looks better than the C5 6 or 7.

My wife went out and bought a 2016 California Special a few months back...and I really enjoy it.
