Would I need to worry about the frame being twisted or anything? And if so would I need to completely redo the frame or just get some kind of support for it? Just in case this is needed...i'm planning on converting to eitehr a 302 or 351...just to give soem idea
 
i did the swap the only thing i had go wrong so far is the motor learns to the drivers side a little hard to notice unless u look hard. as far as frame if theres no damage it should be good.
 
would any of you guys happen to have a pair of 65/66 6cyl coil springs leftover? I am looking to get some low tension springs for 'drag launch' and don't feel like paying for the 6cyl repros which are mysteriously more expensive than the high performance 620lb and similar springs. if any of you guys have a set leftover let me know what you want to get rid of em, ill pay shipping.

I've got a set somewhere left from my swap, but I've got to tell ya, your fenders will set on top of your tires and when you hit the brakes the car will go into serious nose dive. Unless you use spacers. I did run these for a few months with the 351.
