Need advice on smooth fire wall, brakes, and other misc.

wow and thank you for all the info, I do understand that alot of mock up and fab is going to be necessary but essentally I just wanted to know how much major body panel movement is necessary. And after asking I felt a bit stupid about the floor pan question. and I guess I haven't checked into vintage air that much, didn't realize they did heating as well. and again no offense was taken, appreciate all info and input anyone has on this. wanting to get all ducks in a row so to speak before attacking the car. funding is holding me back from purchasing the 572 yet. but i have access to a 454 in my shop for mock up, will it essentially get me the right deminsions for this? I know size is mostly in displacement but (dumb question time) a 572 isn't much physically bigger than a 454 is it? BBC is BBC right?

Thanks, Josh

Thank you for the advice and you will most deffinately be getting a call from me. And again I can't offer enough praise for the amazing job on that 67. I have stared holes in my screen looking at that car. It is perfection. 1 more quick question tho, the fender well/inner fenders what did you do there? It looks finished right, an understated feature but looks great, i have no inners currently my car came with none as I saved it from someone turning it into a dirt track car. I want a look that is close to that clean under the hood. this is my favorite

Something I overlooked also when I ordered some custom brackets. Keep it in mind again that the head sitting higher could effect a bracket that connects to another point on the motor. Mine was based off the water pump and the support bolt to the cylinder head ended up too low.
