Giggles and grins all around. Actually I got my 351 (393) into the Unique with a single plane Edelbrock intake and a dropped base Moroso 3" air filter. Not a hell of a lot of room to spare but works fine. Now the
oil pan is just about as tight to the pavement as I want to see it (Milodon). Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the setup. I've seen all kinds of numbers quoted for engine weights and I don't know how many of them I trust. Checking in the Ford racing catalog I don't see anything but length, width and height dimensions given for the small blocks. You have a 1.3 inch difference in deck heights, maybe a little in crank weight and intake weight, but it doesn't seem like 100 pounds.
