neat project, you are going to say goodbye to a large part of the firewall and probably the wiper drive system too! when i fitted one in a 70 cuda i took the firewall back about 5 inches as it is a really long motor with the accessories on the front too, what will you use for a harness? we used a street and performance one but had quite a few errors with wires being the wrong way in plugs etc but it worked in the end . another thing to consider is the mufflers as normal v8 ones make it sound wierd and if you can fit the viper ones in then use them. the power didnt seem to impress me too much as they are only approx 450hp but the torque, jeez!! you cant help but smile! we fitted a heidts irs but the drive shafts twisted 90 degrees in the first week!! so had to upgrade to beefier units. if you need any info i will try to help, and you could look on our website, lowdownhotrods.com and look up paul lauffert 70 cuda in the " what weve done" section, good luck with your project, it will be great when done.
