FINALLY!!! I got the Crown Vic front suspension!

351w into 58 f100
I have been following your build and I am just starting to put in a 351w into my 58 f100.
I am curious as to what you used for motor mounts and radiator before the crown vic swap. I have my engine sitting in the bay and it seems like there is not going to be much room left for the radiator. Were you able to use the belt driven fan?
Thanks.

You will have to fab your own motor mounts. You should have plenty of room for the engine. Set it as far back as you can.

Your truck does have a shorter wheelbase. Back to fast58, he used all his original sheet metal up front. The only reason I could see for clearance issues would be the engine sitting too far forward.
I will look for his thread and post the link. I see you found his thread. No need to post a link. He does note he is tight to the radiator as well. Perhaps going to electric fans is a solution.
