The rear and sides of the engine are the same as OEM. When I installed my V8 I installed the engine with no accessories on it, not even a water pump, alternator, radiator, or fans. I wanted to make sure the car was serviceable, which it is. It is a tight fit but everything can be serviced just fine. There NO wasted space with the V8 conversion.
