I'd love to see the Model A, if you have a shot of it please share it.620hp for 2400lb I applaude your maths Sir.
Oh and I don't mind the look of LS engines either seen 1 in a chopped and channelled 28 coupe was running an injection setup that looked like an old hilborn mech injection set up. Looked cool enough for me
Use a carb without a choke horn and a 1/2" shorter filter.Started to mock up the engine in my FFR. Going to be tight with a carbed LS. As it sits it has about 4” of clearance to the oil pan. It would be nice to gain another ½” for a taller air filter but I think the pan would be making too many sparks.
No horn carb is in the box but the problem is the Chevy drop base is so low that at 2 1/2" you just about hit the vent tube. IIRC even with a three inch element the Chevy gets restrictive at around 475 HP.Use a carb without a choke horn and a 1/2" shorter filter.Started to mock up the engine in my FFR.

I had the same issue when I put my 460 in while using the standard hood. You can get a plastic spacer which goes between the carb and the air cleaner base which you can trim to provide the minimum amount of air vent clearance. You could also make a custom vent tube by removing the existing tubes and making a one piece tube and cross drilling it to try and gain some room.No horn carb is in the box but the problem is the Chevy drop base is so low that at 2 1/2" you just about hit the vent tube.
