Can you guys tell me IF, I can put a late 90's 5.8 Truck Engine, with the tall truck intake, in a '57? If the intake is too tall, what intake has been used?
Thanks

use fox body motor mounts,70's front sump pan,the intake is too high,will not fit under stock hood.edelbrock makes a 5.8 efi intake for the mustang,i am told this will fit under the hood.i have also seen a adapter plate made to fit the stock 5.8 lower truck intake on to a fox body mustang upper intake.that should also fit under the hood
