I am just curious if anyone has done the MII front end and a 351 cleveland. I just finished my front end and am gonna get the motor ready for mounting. It already has a fox body pan built by moroso. My concern is clearance with the crossmember/rack vs oil pan. Obviously its propably something I'll have to make work but until I get to play with it, it'll make me nuts.

Thanks,
Justin

You'll love it

I did a 66 Ranchero- little different but not much- used a stock double sump pan and was able to drop the front of the engine nearly an inch. Not sure about the Moroso but prob similar. I'd recommend some subframe connectors. Mustang is probably more solid than the Ranch but it was a little whippy. Turns and stops great now. Good luck!
