How much room do I need from axle centerline (9"ford) to backside of engine plate to fit an 8 5/8" can with CS-1+reverser and still install and remove it without moving engine in the process ?

Not really what you are looking for, but... My car has a floater 9", believed to be a Mark Williams unit (which probably doesn't matter). The engine is 40" out. It is a former NTF chassis, so it most likely had a can and reverser in it originally. I was trying to mount a full length Ford C4, and it was at least 3" too long. The output shaft was hitting the female coupler on the axle. I believe that trans is 32" long.

I can tell you I run an 8 1/8 can with a 3 speed B&J and my engine is 42” out and I am tight barely can get the trans out.

That is kinda telling me a two speed lenco with Rev should fit with the 8 5/8" can without drama. Thank you Paul
