Wow, thanks! I'm not really sure where to start -- I'm fairly sure 
length (front to rear) isn't a problem, but side to side, oil pan hump, 
exhaust outlet, radiator hose connections, all that rot.

The little American is ... little! You'd have a hard time believing just 
how small the motor hole is. It's REALLY small, like 20-something inches 
wide.

(THe whole car is small; with my hands fully on the steering wheel, my 
fingers lay on the dashboard. It's well laid out, but it's small.)

The 195.6, from the "flat" of the side of the head where the exhaust 
manifold is, to the sheet metal of the inner fender, is like 6".

I think I need to do a quick "survey" to figure out what measurements 
are needed! A cardboard mockup engine would be really nice to have or 
make. (VintageAir sells cardboard mockups of their built-in AC/heater 
units, it's a great idea).

Thanks for the offer though, I might bug you later after I know what 
questions to ask!
