Interesting exchanges in this thread to say the least. After reading all the comments, I'm still left wandering from a specifications perspective, which engine and transaxle setup is "best suited" for a typical GT40 build?
I read one comment that seemed to indicate that a Coyote with the Transaxle would "stick out" much more than a SBF. Is that true?
I did a quick search and found that a Coyote engine is just barely over 26 inches long and a Boss 302 is shown at 29 inches.
According to the dimensions I have found here:

I think I would lean towards a coyote in every case other than an attempt to build an exact clone of an actual / original GT.
