I have a WC 53 carryall with a V8 conversion. I really like it. Good but tight fit. It was done by the previous owner who did a good installation. It is a Chevy 327. I has plenty of power but not too much. It did take some time to get the fan and shroud done right for decent cooling in 90 degree weather parades.
I have a 4BT that I am putting in a 58 Willys wagon. It actually fits really well with plenty of room. Actually more room than a WC or PW. The only issue is that the front cover plate on the engine is close to the differential. I will move the axle 1" forward and re spring the front to compensate for the added weight. This will solve any issues. I have feeling that this truck will really move. I had a big delay due to some adaptors being out of stock.
