The main problem with the 65, is that the shock towers angle toward the middle of the engine bay, and the bottom of the shock towers is only about 2 feet wide. That is why a lot of engine options will not fit, and especially if you also want to add headers. Front to rear is a tad better in that it is approximately 3 feet from firewall to radiator.

FYI, the 67 and up underhood space is changed quite a bit from the early cars. You can fit an FE (352,390,427,428) in them with relative ease. not so with the 64-66. largest engine that will fit easily is the 351W. You can make changes and get a larger engine to fit, but that means $$$$$$.
