well you cant lower it much in the engine compartment on a bagged truck. and to fit a stock fan you would have the back two cylinders under that recess. thats a 60-66 too, even more room than a TF. visit the project section, the TF/6bt that stands out in my memory is the one with the firewall recess all the way to the surface of the dash.

I am not saying its impossible, just to be aware of the pitfalls. its one thing to build a 6bt truck to tow a trailer or do that kind of work, but building one to bag it, well, its going to be a lot of work just to prove a point.
