Need help with measurements/ Kaase

I need some measurements of older Fords, between the shock towers. This would be at valve cover height. Is the early Mustang the same as a 66-67 Fairlane? Are 65-66 Mustangs the same as 67-68 cars? How about the 64 Fairlane? How about the Fox body cars? Thanks, Kaase

fairlane's have more room than a mustang and 65-66 mustangs are smaller than 67-68.the 67-70 mustangs are the same on the towers but 67-68 have a little less room in the firewall/floor pan area for the trans.

Foxbody -------
34 1/4 total between towers .... 4 1/4 from valve cover to shock tower on Dr. side and 2" from valve cover to shock tower on pass. side .. this is with the Canton Fabbed valve covers and edelbrock rpm heads

I cut mine out years ago.................I'm no help.............better go make KY a tunnel ram before he goes off the deep end and starts making more graphs...............

Now guys...Jon said "older Fords"
I bet he meant 1958 Fords!
No tape measure needed. Just install the engine. I bet a set of those nice Hemi Boss 9 heads would fill up the area nicely!

Jon, stock 69 MachI 428 cj with stock crome v/c at the widest point of v/c = 26 3/4", at top of header flange 25 1/2" cj, non cj =25 7/8"

70 MachI with stock 71 460 with stock v/c at the widest point of v/c = 26 5/8", at header flange = 25 7/8" , this is a non cj car

#s are between the shock towers

hope this help's. Keith

1968 Mustang (C code) without engine, or shock tower support is 27 7/8" at top of shock tower and 25 1/2" near the head location of the shock tower. 1967 Mustang shares the same dimensions.
1965 Mustang (A code) with 289 engine and shock tower support in place is 27 1/2" at top of shock tower and approximately 25 to 25 1/2" in the head area. 1966 Mustang shares the same dimensions.

In a 64 Falcon at the top of the valve cover (SBF) the shock towers are 26" wide and at the base of the valve cover it is about 21" wide.
