A cleveland fits nicely, but be prepared to deal with the small stuff. A friend has a 351C in his '67 and he spent big bucks on headers for the swap. The rest is fairly starightforward, but requires a little fabricating talent.
ok what about hood clearance? and so forth? and well i have the money for the motor and trany and stuff.. and im sure i can get headers for a fair price.. what all woeuld need to be fabricated? . also can any one give me some tips? on how to go about it? or hell any one know of a step by step like for the auto to 5 speed swap ? for the 351 cleveland into a 67 coupe? mainly the reaosn i need help on this asap is because i want to be doingthis i n the next 1-2 weeks. i h ave a shop i can do it at so im not worried about that

My friend has an older strip dominator (don't ask me what brand) intake and street Demon carb and has a stock hood, so I don't think he has any clearance issues, as for the rest, I couldn't tell you (mounts, etc) But I do know he had to fab some stuff. It couldn't have been too hard, because he's not that great of a mechanic/fabricator! Better be ready to pay big time for aftermarket parts. Those motors are fairly rare compared to Windsors and as such nobody makes much in the way of intakes, heads and such. He paid nearly $400 for his intake used on ebay!
