351c

I ran a 351c in my 67 for about 10 years. No mods needed. The longtube headers were a real headache though. I had Hookers which at the time were the only ones available for the 2v Aussie heads. They scraped on most driveways and eventually crushed the tubes. Changing plugs is a couple of an hour affair also. I have since swiched to a Paxton supercharged 302 and love it.

Sounds to me like Hooker copied the FE headers for these cars in designing the Cleveland headers. Same story with my 67 with a 390 and 427.:notnice:
 
When I found the headers I have I didn't think they were for a Mustang because the tubes were so long and snaked all over the place. There was a '67 Cougar in the shop at the time with no engine so I mocked it up, and it fit perfectly down to the previous owner's dings in the tubes to clear some components.
