Both a 351w and a 351c will go in a 65 without cutting the towers. The 351w is a tight fit, the 351c is a tigher fit
so the 351w is the windsor? and is it easy enough to drop in? and would anyone happen to know where i could find a new engine on sale? like on a website, preferabley a turnkey

That's some horsepower! What kind of a tranny and rear end would you put behind that?
Bet it'd smoke the tires.

Built C4, C6, AOD, T5, T56. Just have to make sure everything is built to hand the torque.

Actually, I've heard rumors of a 427 BB being able to fit . . . but the proof remains elusive.
I've had a 351W in my '65 sind 1989. It works mate . . . go with it.
While it's not the most efficient or "sheik" way to go, I went with a toploader and a 9".

$5500 for that 351 and only 373 hp? Man, a STOUT 302 can be built with that much. Wonder why they charge $850 for march pulleys.
I've got a brand new " NEVER FIRED " 426 Windsor stroker i'LL SELL YA FOR $5500. It has the best of everything...Eagle Forged steeel crank, Eagle H-bean rods, Custom Ross forged pistons, Elelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum heads, Edelbrock Super Victor intake, Full Competition Cams valvetrain...fully balanced,blueprinted everything. Heck, it even has the correct Milodon oil pan for your car. E-mail me at [email protected] foir pics and additional info

351w is a drop in, uses same everything for the most part. Just gonna need swap headers, which are made by several manufacturers, including Heddman and Hooker. 351c works too, as is demonstrated above by dodgestang.
yeah thing is i plan on doing a 6 cyl to 8 swap. I didnt wanna tell you guys that though cause i knew in that case i wouldnt get any responses. I wont be doing the swap for another year and a half though until i have money, just had the question on my mind.

A lot of folks on here will tell you to just buy a V-8 mustang, that the swap isn't worth the money. Probably true. However if you've already poured a good bit into your baby, you have the time and money, I say go for it. I've driven a 6 cyl and a v-8 stang and i much prefer the V-8. Your gas mileage isn't really going to suffer, but the dyno called your butt will feel a difference, if you're starting from a 6 cyl, definitely go with the windsor, but you may want to look into getting a stroker kit for it - no replacement for displacement right?

coasthigh.com, they'll seel you the block too. You may want to consider that and a good set of heads. Don't ask me about heads though.
The 351 W in my post is 400 Horse, same components on a 302 yield 373hp I guess, It appears kinda confusing on the web page, $825 for the pulleys includes all bracketry machined out of aluminum and a chromed 100 amp alternator with belts installed on motor. $5300 for a turnkey motor completely setup with video running. You have to pay labor the last time I checked. Labor ain't cheap.allcarfan said:
To each his own. You can save money by not buying turn-key. You can save more money by getting a block and building the engine yourself. It all depends on how valuable you time is and whats in your wallet
