V10 Lincoln

I know it is not a truck guys, but I am thinking about buying a 1963 Lincoln Continental. I was wondering if any one here has any idea if a 6.8L V10 would fit in the engine bay. I have tried looking up the overall dimensions of the Lincoln 430 to compare it to the V10 but I could not find any info.

I'd say you would definatly need to go with electric fans in conjunction with a little clearancing of the firewall. A 4.6l 4V fills the engine compartment of a 73-79 up nicely and the the V10 is over 8" longer than that yet. So I'd say if the engine compartment on the Lincoln is longer than your dentside your in good shape. A V10 should push that boat around pretty good though.
