My FED Build or RE-Build

Been working on it for a while but hope to be on the down Hill side.

First Pics are when I bought it and stripped it down.

Built this 440 to go in it but have problems getting it in the frame rails so have decided to put a SBC with a blower in it.

Yes cant get a starter in there with the motor plate. Or get the engine to sit down where it needs to be. So getting a Altered to put the 440 in and going with a blown SBC like it had in it.
