From memory, it seems a 428 Ford is close to "square." I can't remember for sure but want to say 3.98" x 4.13' or something like that. My grandfather used them for irrigation engines. My father and his brothers put a couple into pickups over the years. With a few mods, they made great torque and horsepower for the time. We we're moving when I was young and my uncle got clocked at 128 mph pulling a gooseneck with my dad's 1973 3/4 ton that was so equipped. He was given a warning and told to go home. I think my uncle was 13 or 14 at the time.
I have two of the Toyotas, one of which will get traded. The 5.7 is a good engine. Pretty much trouble free vehicles.
