    Looks pretty darn close to my road race style T-pan which is also 13 1/2" wide. Belly bar may be an issue(never checked as I'll just do a custom piece anyways).. and I do know for fact that the ends of the lower control arms need to be radiused and trimmed at their mounting point to have any clearance whatsoever. Even then.. engine rock during hard takeoffs/shifts might cause issues.

    Not saying is can't be done.. especially since I intend to do that same clearancing mod myself.. just that it won't be a bolt in deal, is all. If I can get my engine set back far enough with firewall mod's.. it'll actually turn into a bolt in deal for me after all.

    I used a Milodon style 9 Qt (knock-off bought on Ebay) on mine and it fit without trimming anything. In addition, if you're using a main girdle, it'll need a kicked out rear wall to clear the girdle, didn't see that feature in that Canton link.

    I have a Moroso 20502 that looks a lot like your Canton. I had to have mine notched 2 1/2 inches to clear the lower control arm mounts. I have before and after pics if you want to see em.
