Mallorys are not going to work even with an extra inch. I mocked it up and tried today.
This is a Chevy Mr mallory that Bubba modified for me to use with a flathead. It is not fully engaged and definatlly will not work.
In this picture the Mallory is not even in all the way

I already have 2 of your dizzy's now I want a longer one for my next build.
I am squeezing an 8BA in a 31 coupe and do not want to cut the firewall.
After mocking up with new water pumps I will give you a call.
So I have a 8BA engine I would like to install in a 31 coupe without modifying the firewall.
Do the 37-48 (8RT) pumps bolt right on to the 8BA?
I figure the list of parts I need is this
1. 39 truck generator pulley
2. generator mounted fan
3. 37-48 water pumps (8rt)
4. single wide bottom...
I have had some private emails about my T5 flathead. those pictures are old I got the thing on the road this year. Please dont hate me for building a Hotrod :) but here is a picture and a link to the vintage vehicle show interview a few weeks ago.

You need to modify the x member, shorten the torque tube and get a T5, from a 4x4 here is my drive train. Were the transfer case would have been is a nifty torque tube adapter.
Oh the irony of breaking down on a reliability run ;)
Hey Marty I made it you should have given the trophy to me to deliver.
