Why a clevland?
Bloody heavy, dizzy at the front to catch all the water really wide so room is limited......I could also name a few reasons why they aren't the best motor technically....but I'd rather not flame them hehe
If you are a ford man, have you thought about the smaller and lighter Windsor :D

good luck which ever way you go.........

Just cut it and spin it and modify the oil pick up to suit

If your going ford forget the windsor do it right get the clevo, Bronco sump is already reversed and easy to find, may be the easy way out..

you can get teh clevo in a front sump and a rear sump Configuration from factory.

All you need is the pickup and sump.
