thanks for following through all the way 


The motors in those "Square Birds" always looked odd to me ... like they are too far forward in the engine compartment?

The Thunderbird was a very cool car! I think I have only seen 3 of those motors in that car over the years.

Gotta get as much of that road-hugging weight up front, where it counts.

Happy 430 Day, from M-E-L.

     If you view an example that is equipped with air-conditioning then it will make sense, as the blower box is mounted in the engine compartment ahead of the firewall behind the engine in the void witnessed.  Though it would have been really cool if the vehicles without air had been engineered with an engine set-back sum, but perhaps the bellhousing intrusion into the toe-board would have been to great.

Thanks Scott - I'll keep an eye out to see that sometime.
