Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and also new to mustangs. I recently purchased a 66' Mustang Coupe with a I-6, not running since 1999, and want to do a engine swap. My question is will this fit in my mustang? I found this, a CLEVELAND ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND FORD 9 IN. REAR END from a 1974 Ford Grand Torino. I'm not sure on the type of tranny, he is getting me that info. Is this something I can use without modifing the engine bay.

Thanks in advance.

351C

I just read all the horror stories about installing the 351C in a 66' mustang, so I don't think I will go that direction, it was just a good price. I think I'll try to find a 289 or 302 instead.

How about the 9" rear end off the 74' Grand Torino, will it fit?

You need the measure the 9", but it will more than likely be too long.
