Depending on what transmission you go with will determine how much tunnel work will be needed. The slant six k member will work. Better fitment would be Reilly Motorsport Alterkation coil over setup. Or Hemmy Denny setup. You will have more room than a 440. You won’t need fender well headers for sure. I have a low cost radiator in mine cost me $148 and has been in mine for 14 years now. With a tauarus fan. Mine is a stock 04 5.7. Not that much hp. But great for what I do with it. Have over 125,000 miles on it in 14 years with no problems. I used the 545rfe trans so had to cut the tunnel. I’m guessing you will be going with a manual transmission so there will be some cutting involved. I think the 727 is the only one you can fit with the swing of a hammer on your tunnel.

We can pair the N/A versions with a Tkx, The big versions can have that or a T56. our Auto options would be a 4l65 based trans for the N/A, or a 4L80 based trans for the big ones. Yes i know those will take some tunnel work. no way around it. We do have plans for an 8HP based trans also. I think you're right that the 5 speed manual would be the only one that went in with a hammer, or as you said, if someone wants to hang a 727 off the back and do a manual V/B or figure out a creative way to do kickdown. I would figure monst sinking 30+K into an engine package, probably aren't keeping factory torsion bars and front suspension, but i could be wrong. Thats why we still offer the SB strokers....some will just want a 408/727 that bolts in like factory.
