* Size and Weight: The 472 is a very large and heavy engine. You'll need custom engine mounts, possibly modifications to the firewall and possibly the inner fenders.
* Clearance Issues: The engine's width and length will likely interfere with other components in the engine bay, requiring careful planning and potentially modifications to things like the steering column, headers, and possibly even the subframe.
* Transmission: You'll need a transmission that can handle the torque of a 472, and the transmission's size and mounting will also influence the overall fit.
* Cooling: The 472 will generate significant heat. You'll likely need a larger radiator and potentially an upgraded cooling system to keep it from overheating.
In short, while it's *possible*, it's a major undertaking requiring substantial mechanical skills, custom fabrication expertise, and potentially a significant budget. It's not a project for beginners. Consider the extensive modifications required and if it's worth the time and expense before embarking on the project. You'll likely find many threads on car forums documenting similar projects and the specific challenges encountered.
