There’s also no provision for distributor or drive off the camshaft, maybe that shortens the length of the block….
Look at picture below, notice timing cover and water pump length

Going by online sources, the Godzilla tapes up very close to a traditional small-block Ford at 730mm long (timing cover to rear of block), 585mm wide (across valve covers) and 635mm high.

It’s roughly an inch narrower than a 351W and close to four inches narrower than a Coyote….
