How many 2000 lb. cars have enough room under the hood for one of those oversized slugs? For all I know, they may be awesome motors when built right, but I also know they are bigger than some import cars!.
If there is that much room, put 2 289's side by side.......
Come on Doug, Art put a big ol' smiley on that. I had a big long post all typed up to rip him, but I guess it got lost in cyberspace. Packaging (width-wise) was first, along with complexity and cost of hipo parts for the mod vs. SBF. Gotta admit, after you realize he was just kidding, it was funny....

Believe it or not, I think a 4.6 would fit into a Triumph TR7. Width-wise, anyway. The tops of the heads are the widest thing on the engine, and if you can fit a small-block in the AND get to the spark plugs, a 4.6 would fit. A bit tall perhaps
