New guy post!
Have some questions regarding installing a red block engine upright, specifically is there a bell housing and rear engine cover that will do this, from an earlier pushrod motor perhaps?
short story long, i'm doing a full bottom up B-230/243 build for a hot set up in a 74 Spitfire, and want to install it upright and use a Ford Pattern T-5 ( Mustang SVO) for the closer ratio gear set. Space isn't a issue, I have plenty of room, but would prefer not to have to install it canted! This will be a N/A Duel Carb engine with custom header once I can actually source the needed parts to stab the engine and start getting measurements!
