Swinger 1969, testfitting engine and painting is going on

Before starting the painting i had to test how this 1978 440cid (stroked to 500) fits in the engine room with TTI 2" headers.
This has been done in the earlier days: Swinger 1969
The engine itself fits quite well, but after adding headers there is not much room left. Luckily inner fenders are not anymore in the engine room. And no more power brakes!View attachment 1715147143 View attachment 1715147144 View attachment 1715147143 View attachment 1715147145 View attachment 1715147146

Looks great, my early A with a small block has less room! 65'
