    Hi all. I am pondering putting a 351c into my 67 mustang coupe. I have heard that this swap isn't too hard. Just need to get some different headers. Also, will the cleveland fit under the stock hood cause I would really like it to.

    Canton 8qt oil pan (Fresh lube job)
    High volume oil pump
    New water pump
    New Alternator
    Holley fuel pump
    Rebuilt Holley 750 vac
    73 open chamber 4V heads
    Ferrea stainless steel valves, 2.19 intake 1.7 exhaust
    Pocket ported with 3 angle valve job
    all bronze guides
    Crane springs, retainers and keepers
    Crane adjustable rocker kit
    Stock rockers with adjustable fulcrums
    Heads milled .030
    Wieand excelerator intake 4V (decked)
    Headers w/ dual exhaust

    I'm pretty sure it will fit. There are guys with clevflands in 65-66s so I don't see why it wouldn't fit in yours.

    It should fit under the hood without problems, 67-68's also came with FE big blocks and they fit. You'll need headers for a 70 with a Cleveland.

    yep, that motor fits real nice in a 67-70 engine bay. like D said, get a set of headers for a 70 mustang with a 351c motor.
