That thing is so big it has its own zip code!
I'm sure there is plenty of room in the engine bay to work.
Before my time 
I'd love to have a car like that as a young guy in the 70's parked in the rear section of a drive in movie theater!

Neighbor had the first year Plymouth Road Runner. He also had the preceding year (1967?) Plymouth Fury III with all the same inwards.
I thought that was extremely cool.

I had a Plymouth Fury III in early 90's. Had 318 LA and Great AC and I could bring a half rick of wood in the trunk to Mom and Dad. One night got rear-ended turning in the drive. Chain reaction crash. Three cars towed away. Broke my backup light lense. Insurance totaled it because they said it probably had frame damage. I bought it back for $300 and drove it 2 more years.
This was the 2nd year of the "whale Chryslers" as I thought of them. They're now commonly called the "fuselage" style.
My friend had one very similar, right down to the brown. 383 as I recall.

I always liked the '67 and '68 Plymouth Furys (Furies?) the best. In '67, at least, you could get them with a wide spread of engines - from the 225 Slant Six right up to at least the 383, and possibly the 440. If the 440 was available, it was almost twice the displacement of the base engine. How many cars can say that? (The 1st gen Chevy II/Nova comes to mind - 153 4-banger up to at least a 283, and possibly a 327.)
Nice wheels
Those are Cragars, mine American Racing... both where popular of the time period and I had both on a few of my cars in the 70's. Now my 2018 Mazda has American racing chrome 5 spoke.. Ageless like the fury!
I just wish FWD looked as good as the original DEEP DISH 5 spokes.
I had a '73 NewPort Custom that was almost the same car(year-for-year). Mine was the 2 dr as well. 19' 3" long with a Chrysler 400 cid & Torque Flight 727 transmission. The cars color was Green-on-green-on-green. I wish that I had a good pic to share.
I owned a mint 1969 Chrysler New Yorker, Green but likely a black interior (I think that was about 130 past cars and 30 years ago?) WHAT A BOAT.
My Grandmother had a 72 Dodge Monaco 2 door with the 440. That thing was huge but super comfy for long rides/drives. That was brown also.
The Mercedes E-Class was always kinda like that. Base model of a 3.2L engine and the AMG engines at 5.5L or 3.5 with 6.3. Now 2.0 and 4.0. Maybe the S class when they had the S63 and S65.

Current GC has the 3.6L as base with the 6.4L as the top N/A offering (6.2L supercharged in the TrackHawk).
Quite a few. Offhand...1975-1979 and 1982-93 Mustang (2.3, 5.0HO). 1982-85 F-bodies (Iron Duke, 305), 1970-74 B body Mopars (198 slant, 440), 1969 Barracuda and Dart (170 slant, 440), 1968-70 Mustang (200 six, 428). Notably, the 1972 full-size Fords had a 240 six standard, and the top engine was the 4bbl 460. That was a one-year thing-the 351 became the standard engine in 1973, and the 1971 used the 429, not the 460.
The 1968-70 Nova had a 153ci six standard, and a 396 (402 in 1970) optional.
Arg, you're right - I definitely should have thought of the Pintostang (a.k.a. Mustang II) with its 4-6-8 options!
The Fox-body had the 2.3 standard to 1993.
