josh its rich here read carefully i said the M56 had the same configuration NOT
size i don't have the measurements but i do know its at least a foot longer i
can't remember if much wider what i was trying to say is "V"type engines are
going to be allot harder to install due to steering interference and detroit
71's and 92's are not the best choice they are leakers smokers and now obsolete
so parts availability is a concern
if your looking for a "civi" engine an international DT466 is a good choice
should drop in a M35 all hook ups are in the same areas
