<p>Don't see why not. The distributor will need to come out for forward movement. And depending on the valve cover overhang at least one cover (recommend the passenger side because of its more forward placement) might have to come off. A few of the rear bolts may be somewhat difficult being under the firewall. Apparently that guy at Rootes that swung that big ole sledge hammer at the firewall just didn't hit it hard enough. <span class="moz-smiley-s5">:-D</span> (just kidding of course)</p>
