351c Questions "WITH PICTURES"

I dont have a trany yet to have any suggestions?

Well, a battery and a radiator would be a good start...


Swapping in that 351C is going to require some fancy work. Block hugger headers and some "sledgehammer on shocktower action" come to mind.

No sledgehammer required.

Swap Headers.
Manual steering.
Low manifold such as Wieand Xcelerator or Hole in hood.

5 speed? Small Block Bell Housing unless you are putting new style housing etc.

Auto, IDK.

darkhorseperformance.com sells swap headers. Manual Trans swap parts also.

I have done the same swap. And am trying to reverse it now...I had a 1970 351C 2V with an FMX tranny and headers. I had no probs with the headers hitting anything. Oh, and check out the classifieds under "Random 351C..." I am trying to get rid of this stuff. very cheap....maybe just pay shipping and a few bucks and its yours....NOTE:Engine price will be slightly higher
