I don't see why one of those BOSS crate motors wouldn't fit... they are
using 'windsor' heads... I have 'Trickflow' heads on my 302 using PBM roller
rockers...my Ford Racing cast aluminum valve cover sitting on the raised
rails ( about 3/8" ) of the Trickflows fit very close to the firewall but I
didn't have to get out the hammer...
...BUT ... when I finally got my back-ordered LAT aluminum valve covers they
were too shallow to clear the rockers...I now have 1/2" spacers under them
but had to 'adjust' the firewall with a ball-peen hammer to get clearance on
the outside corners... :(

I am assuming the USA boss moors are the same as the A ones.. as in over
head cam? They are a very WIDE and tall motor if its the one i am reffering
too, and i doubt they would get in the engine bay let alone under the
firewall.
