    All engines weigh 700 lbs or more and the Olds and Cadillac are wider and longer than the Chrysler I vote hemi. My first engine swap was a 303 Olds in a 40 Mainly because I found a running motor for $7

    There was an Olds powered '40 around here when I was in high school. Could pull the wheels a foot and impress the he'll out of all high schoolers around. I've been a hemi fan forever. I'm torn, so I'll vote Caddy.

    The Cad fits the hole with the least amount of work,but the Olds is the cheapest.

    The Chrysler is not as wide as you think and the exhaust do not add any width. http://www.carnut.com/specs/engdim.html
