I have a 327 SBC in my '40 - fits just fine. I have a Mustang 2 front suspension - not sure of clearances with straight axle setup. You should go with a short water pump for rad clearance. I also have a " pusher " electric fan on the outside face of the radiator. Block hugger type headers fit between block and frame OK. Only minor issue might be relocation of steering linkage a little
