I think you've already answered your question in the second pic.

And, since everything is back-ass around here down under, that's why we have the steering wheels on the right side of the car.

Those are pretty mild cams for an SOHC.  They would compare to a standard FE cam that is around 240 @ .050".  What compression ratio are you going to run with those?  I don't think you'd want to go much more than 10:1 with those cams.  Do you have a horsepower target Adam?

The 427 fits in and looks like they belong there, I know cause I have one in my 56 F100. I had to remove the frt spring rear crossmember and refab it for clearence for my tranny and header clearence. The rear window kit fits nicely except the rear chrome is not quite right but some work will make it fit. I plan on installing one in my 56 cabover soon too,
