Hey O_D, HH56 and others-

I thought the 356 engines were physically longer than the 288 and 327. Not the case? I was just texting back and forth today with Palanirides and he was talking about dropping the 356 into his coupe and I was advising him that I didn't believe the 356 would fit, not only because the senior Custom sheet metal cowl-forward is different, but because the engine is longer than the others. Thinking now I may have misled him. Why would the Custom sheet metal be longer if the engine physically isn't?
