From: nearby Clifton Gorge in beautiful Clifton, OH.
There is a series of articles in Hot Rod Magazine a few years back about building monster engines. It looked at the big engines from each of the big three automakers. I didnt read much of the Ford section. However I followed the series on building a Cadillac 500 motor and shoe horned it into a early 70's GM mid-body. They seemed to know what they were doing with the 500, so hopefully the Ford section was just as good.

I think you can find the articles in the archive section at Hot Rod Magazine's website.

Best of luck,

Mike
