So I am going to be putting a 351w and a 4 spd toploader into my 66 coupe and I need to know if there is anything else I need to do to make this work.

The 351w will be making about 400 hp to the wheels.

Anything helps and thanks in advance

swap headers. pretty much everything else is the same as a 289. you will have a few bits here and there like brackets, linkage, hoses, normal swap stuff that will be different.

Can you give a recommendation for swap headers because I have no idea which ones would work with a top loader. I m new to this part of the process.
