Default Capri V8 Windsor clearances

Hi guys I am looking to out a 302 Windsor in my Capri, it's the biggest I can with the strict certification requirements here.
I want to go alloy block but the only 302 I can find is the dart how ever the Ford performance 351 aluminium block is way cheaper but taller deck hieght, I was thinking this as an option and destroke it only concern is the clearance to the bonnet, I don't want anything coming through and I want to run ITB injection. Anyone done a 351 Windsor in a Capri or even better have one now I could get some measurements off??

They put Windsor blocks in Capris here in South Africa, they were called Perana's. The motor used to fit under the v6 gt bonnet with the power bulge..
