Some more tips that may or may not help with a SBF in a 40; the bellhousing , flywheel, and converter from a V8 Mustang II is much smaller than any other, and may help with firewall/floor pan clearance. I believe you can buy aftermarket "short" waterpumps and crank pulleys. Also, for general info, the tranny pan on a C4 Mustang II is deeper, with more capacity. The oil pans on 79-90 full size 302 and 351s are similar if not the same as the bronco pans and are a dime a dozen (well, plentiful at least!) Depending on the years, left or right discharge waterpumps are available new, and cheap. Good luck!
