I dig your thinking and I love the new Chevy Stovebolts but they're TALL! Might need a dry sump to get it under the hood. One of those motors with a little boost would be a screamer!

Yeah.... maybe. With the aluminum head that's available and a nice injection system. The problem is that it goes against the "daily driver" idea by not utilizing production parts to make it work. The Chevy 6 on the other hand would be all production, and could be worked on by any GM tech.

Still, tempting thought...

Of course, the hood on a '52-'54 Ford is tall too. Tall enough you might fit a nice small block and 6-71 under the hood, so I am thinking the new motor "should" fit...
