    blown motor swap to a 67?

    I came across an 89' or 90' mustang motor stroked to a 331 with a blower on it. It's putting out 500hp. The blower is on the passengers side and sticks out pretty far. Think that motor would have enough clearance to be dropped into my 67'?

    I hear Patriot makes heads now for the Ford 5.0. I'm building a 331 right now and was going to go AFR 185's with updated hardware but now I hear Patriot is making a good ford head for nearly half the cost. Anyone know about this? I wonder how it performs.
