351W fitment questions in a fox

[nvrenuff]

Will a 351W with the FMS tall valve covers clear the larger SN95 brake booster in my fox?

of course. actually i'm not sure. i know mine is pretty close to the 86 booster but there is still room there. how much bigger is yours ill go measure and let you know.

Not a problem

There is plenty of clearance on mine.
Motor is in the sig and the booster was sourced from a 95.

Never even heard of this being an issue.

Do you have the FMS tall valve covers too? My plans are for a 408 as well, I'm just trying to get together a list of parts and such for the swap and start gathering parts. Getting that SN95 booster in there with my 306 was a real PIA, that's why I questioned whether the taller deck of the 351 would even clear it. Thanks for the help.

I still have the 302 VCs, but there is no way you will have clearance issues with this combo. There is plenty of room.

On a side note...
I have been working on a 351w swap FAQ for some time now. If you want to look it over it may help. Let me know if you have any suggestions/comments/questions as I would like to keep adding to it.
It is on my website, as I am not sure if it will fit in a post here anymore...

What do you know... it does fit!

But the formatting was hosed.

Maybe I'll try again later?
