Rob is correct!

Engine placement can make a difference, farther back is good for hood clearance, and my engine is about one inch further foward than most Ford V8 installations (and probably several inches more foward than Rob's). When lowering the engine, be sure to lower the transmission mount to keep the driveshaft yoke angle correct, or adjust the rear axle angle as necessary.

One fairly obscure point is that the aluminum hoods give less clearance than the steel hoods. Apparently, the steel hoods came out with the factory V8s and were designed for extra clearance, even though most cars using them were not V8 powered.
