How long is the engine compartment?
How wide is the engine compartment at the frame rails?
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!

 

I did find a thread on some site that said the FB was 29" from frame rail to frame rail.

That's one question checked off the list.

 

Nobody knows this information?

 

I asked these questions in the 1st gen specific forum. I wasn't deceitful and didn't lie to anyone and when asked I admitted I was thinking about doing a RX-V8. At least one person didn't like the idea.

I did get some answers though. Here are the condensed answers in case anyone else wants this info.

How long is the engine compartment? ~28.5" to the back of the radiator

How wide is the engine compartment at the top of the strut towers? ~35"

How wide is the engine compartment at the frame rails? ~29"

How tall is the engine compartment from the engine cross member to the hood line? ~23.5" to the top of the fan shroud

 

I also found out that a stock 12a from the bottom of the oil pan to the top of a Weber is ~26" tall and just touches the hood.
