I wonder,
if using the existing location, one can cut the top of the FE mount off and make a shoe to slide over the remaining bracket adapting 351 or FE or 460.

this shoe could then be drilled for two bolts all the way through to hold it in place.

that way any engine could sit there providing the bellhousing to motor mount distance is similar.

like a RR Merlin V12 or even a Chevy... ;-)

there is a line in the drawing giving you block reference (bellhousing to block) 2' 8 1/2" to axle centerline.

right next to it, 6 1/8" from chassis CL, is an angle of 2.5 deg (2 deg 30min = 2.5 deg).
extend that line and you find your crankshaft CL heigth to chassis.
work on 5" ground clearance.
maybe a little more in the rear.

the 2.5 deg should actually correspond with the 1.5 deg for the trans mount, if they are in line.
that part I don't understand.

using a rubber trans mount probably absorbs the 1 deg difference, but it doesn't feel right.

BTW, the 460 with a Victor JR intake is too high, it may work with a Performer, but the block is also too wide.
it cannot be offset by 1/2", you hit the frame with the stater.
then you need to move the steering to make room for headers.

and a clutch fork is a pain to use as well, get an hydraulic TO bearing inside the bellhousing.
