Fabulous! Thanks Pantera2077 for a little more info. Any chance he or you took some pictures? Pictures are worth a thousand words.

Why, may I ask, did he put the 5.0 in his GT (which had an awesome dry-sump supercharged 5.4 in the first place), or was it a GT40 kit car?

I am excited to call my contact tomorrow- I believe he may have finally took some measurements for this over the weekend.

I also looked into the cost of the crate motor, shipped here at Westland Ford, a local dealer that also sells Ford Racing parts. It appears reasonable, but I'm also going to look for salvage motors.

I am tempted to go talk to a Ford dealer and see if they won't let me take some quick measurements with a tape measure. I'll probably go back to the same dealer since they sell the parts and will understand.
