Been a while since I posted, I usually lurk and Google answers to my questions, but Google has failed me. I'm planning on building something similar to this build: http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30220 but I'd like to build it such that I don't need the bump out in the hood to fit the air cleaner. I want to have the option of leaving all the sheet metal factory so that nobody will suspect a thing until I fire it up and they hear a v8 instead of an aircooled vw engine. So what's the smallest, height and length wise, common v8? Mopar 318? Ford 302? Chevy 350? Chevy 5.3? Ford 4.6? I'm not opposed to running fuel injection since this will be covered up, so if I can shave an inch or two that way I'm all for it. Thanks for the help guys.
