Ditto it will fit. Ditto you will need different headers.

Might want to give some thought on adding additional weight to the front of these things.

You can put a 351c in too and hang out with the non-conformists. We are having a meeting next week....look for the guys who are all in blue jeans, yellow t-shirts, jean shirt on top, and brown shoes.

Put aluminum heads and intake on the 351 and it will weigh less than a stock 289
