looking closer at the pictures it might not be.As long as the pan clears the front axel you are good to go.

You'll have an extremely short driveshaft though.

Glad to see you found a powerplant, be sure to keep us posted on what it takes to wrestle it in there.

Now I have to get the customer jobs done and out of the way, then get chop in the shop and set the motor & trans in.
