Henry:
I have a 2001 built 225" car. The engine is 36" out and I wish it was about 4-6" more. Its set up for a two speed Lenco and we use a 8 1/8" deep can. I have to slide the engine forward about 4-6" to remove the coupler and drop the tranny to service the clutch. It would be great for a powerglide.
