1st Gen Engine Bay
I asked these questions in a different place here on the board and think I asked it in the wrong place. So I thought I'd go to the 1st gen experts and try again.
How long is the engine compartment?
How wide is the engine compartment at the top of the strut towers?
How tall is the engine compartment from the engine cross member to the hood line?
Thanks!

Take these measurements with a grain of salt.
1) 28.5" to the back of the rad.
2) 35" ish
3) 23.5" to the top of the fan shroud
Just used a tape measure real quick on my 84 gsl. Hope it helps a bit.

I won't lie to anyone. I am thinking about it. I know lots of guys don't like it, so I didn't want to stir up trouble and kept my question general. I am a V8 guy and I am not a road racer type. I like drag racing. A first gen + a 302 Ford = easy go fast.
There are a lot of 1st gen cars in my area and most of them are not running or don't even have an engine in them.
Don't hate me because I may save a chassis. I do like rotary engines from an engineering standpoint.

If you are willing to put up with a little childish behavior - you can get some good info about your project. Good luck with it and don't be embarrased, you'll just have to talk smack about the Chevy guys instead.....
