Do you think this will fit under a stock hood?

Where there's a will there's a way. If you would like to have one drop shipped to my shop, give me a minute, and I'll let you know what you need to cram that thing in an EB once I'm done.

'Looks like a death-wish in progress, possibly a Darwin Award candidate.

Probably, but a custom tubular chassis, pro-touring EB built along the lines of a AWD Shelby Cobra with that mountain motor under the hood would be a sight to behold.

Just for reference, a 6.8L stroked, bored, supercharged, intercooled LS fits with plenty of room - so a 'Zilla should , too.

Just remember that IF you want ANY kind of warranty from FORD you'd better be able to wait 11 months and then all you'll get is a FRACTION of the parts that they should have warranteed... Here's the Coyote warranty from Ford Performance "The Coyote comes with a two-year/24k mile warranty, too, and Ford reckons both this and Megazilla 2.0 are easy to install ... " a warranty is only as good as the company honoring it. BluePrint engines backs their warranties... FORD Performance does not.

...and if you want to read a long winded saga on how Ford Performance can't remember which pistons have .006" cyl wall to piston clearance for a particular engine and which ones are suppose to have appr. .003" cyl wall to piston clearance just read my build thread where they totally #'d up and tried to blame NO taper on the cyl walls on me not tuning the engine properly... it' long, it's techie and Ford screwed up and wouldn't warranty it... I personally know 3 other guys that bought blocks from Ford Performance and ALL had severe piston knock and all they got was pistons for all the trouble and expen$e.

Just a warning...

Better think about a new frame. And transmission. And transfer case. And drive shafts. And differentials. And axles. And changing to a 4 link.
I've got all that & designed it for that already... 7.73 ltr... built it for 800HP at the wheels. Over $20K for that engine tho is more than my birthday allowance $ ... :( lol
