If the same size engine was placed in a SPF or a Backdraft is there a difference in foot box space?

Thanks

The "Mod Motor" footbox is used for the Coyote. Due to the width of the engine "up top" it requires the narrower footbox to allow the installation. The steering shaft is routed somewhat differently from the small block setup.

I have no idea of the footbox configuration in a Backdraft, I presume Jay will chime in with the details.

The Superformance chassis has been designed to allow the different engines to fit the same frame with the footbox variety for best fit. It is only in the recent production that the three footbox designs have been available. Most early cars are the "big block" setup which allows any of the pushrod engines to fit.

The Superformance pedals can be field modified to move them side to side and are adjustable to some extent for "fore/aft" placement.
