Will I have room?

Red 409 63 impala

Well Known Member
I have a 63 Impala and wondering if I will be able to fit all of this in the engine compartment. If I use the high performance exhaust manifolds can I install them with the engine installed in the car, or be better off installing them while the engine is out of the car. Engine is a 409-425 hp.
I have been told I will need a special bracket for the power brake booster if I add power front disc brakes. Also any known problems adding a power steering pump. Thank you.

If you install the engine, without a tranny, it's more or less, straight down to the frame. :applWith the transmission, hanging down, it will be more difficult. Putting the manifolds on, after the engine is in, is easy, coming up, from the bottom.:)
