Mk3 Zephyr Engine bay dimensions

[escortmad79]

Can anyone help me (Bomber?), looking for dimensions for the engine bay on a mk3 Zephyr:

 

Inner wing to inner wing on the narrowest part between strut tops

 

Bulkhead to rear of slam panel

 

Bulkhead to front of slam panel

 

Are Mk3 Zephyrs & Zodiacs the same under the bonnet (Inner wings et al)

 

Cheers

yes as far as im aware they are all the same will go and get the dimensions for you a big block mopar has been fitted to one in baisingstoke and matey at the pod is running a small block chevy in his. the main problem with hoofing a v engine into one of these is the heater blower and where the pipes goes into the heater. what u got and whats the plans?

[escortmad79]

Haven't got one, just planning for a possible future project & it's not V8 powered

right eyes down look in. the engine bay is 3ft wide at the rear, 34in at the slam panel and 33 at the struts lenght wise your looking at 34in long where the engine sits the 32 either side as the bulk head is reccesed behind the engine. theres a few that have made the slam panel removable to make engine removel easier. if you go on the nsra forum theres one on there and the other good source of info for these cars is galeforcezephyrs.com if u need anything else let me know ps i know where theres a zephyr4 mk3 up for sale
