mock up a block and your trans to be sure you have enough room for a driveshaft....it'll be quite short. have the mounts on the engine things to consider... oil pan to ground clearance, carb and aircleaner to hood clearance, watch out for this one... pinion angle |
No
I have a FE in my A&C and follow Joes manual.... Take a measurement from the cross member to the center between cylinders #2&3's exhaust port on the Pass side. The distance is 22.5 inchs so your headers and side pipes will fit.

The 22 1/2" is correct but I would put the headers that you will use on the FE and install the mounts on the block and mock it up that way. I used the headers from AC and they are formed to fit around the foot box. I had to have the passenger side fixed so that it would not hit the foot box.
