351 Clearance problems

[Blue_demon]

i have a 91 gt and i'm planning a 408w swap but i was told that there is a clearance problem with the steering shaft, is this true??? if so are there any specific parts to solve this problem???

thanks



p.s. I already did a search and didn't find anything detail enough about this

Never heard of the motor having clearance problems,sometime the headers,but thats it.

the headers can have some issues but you will be using specfic 351w swap headers so it should be ok. If you have a clearence issue it is as easy as shimming one engine mount a little or tapping a little dent into a header to fix.

You may want to check into the flaming river steering shaft. Its a lot smaller than the stocker.
