Sorry to hear about your layoff.
I was laid off a few years back, but it gave me the opportunity to go back to school.
The layoff was the best thing that could have happened in my work life.
It just depends on what you do with the time.

Would a 351w even fit in that engine bay?
I saw a 302 pinto at a show a few weeks back, and I'm not sure how that guy changed his plugs. If his motor mount ever let go, his engine would collide with the battery.

I am sure it has been done, just curious how tough it is.

I did a quick look online and I bet a 351W would fit with manifolds and maybe even shorty headers. Hood clearance would almost certainly be a problem, though.
