67 289 to 351c swap???

[my67stang]

How much work is required to get it to fit into a '67 mustang coupe? I know the 351W is an easy switch but I have heard that the Cleveland is a little wider, so does it require mods to the shock towers, motor mounts, bell housing the right size?
Thanks a lot.

bolt in the engine bay is the same as the 70 wich came with the cleavland factory it is a little snug around the valve covers as far as getting to the plugs but nothing major good luck

The motor mounts are the same, the bellhousing is the same, the flywheel is the same, etc. The shock towers will be tight as the are on a 69/70 as well. It can be a simple swap if you keep in mind the following items: Make sure you get a motor with all the accessory drives (pulleys, PS bracket/pump, alternator bracket, etc) and watch the water pump outlet side. Some small blocks have a left exit, some a right side--this affects your radiator bottom inlet... Radiators can be modified or a new one bought to fix this so easy enough to take care of. I had to modify some wiring (lengthen) to install a Cleveland where a Windsor once sat. The last thing I had to do related to carb height as I have a shaker hood--the Cleveland has a taller carb base height. I eliminated my under carb spacer and had to modify my shaker (don't worry or flame me--my shaker is bogus underneath the visible scoop and I did not screw up any original bits.)
