I have a 351 Cleveland in the car now that had been installed 25 years ago When I originaly restored it. Now I am going through it agian and would love to make some improvements. Love the motor hate the conjestion in the engine compartment. Would also like better handeling and ride. Considering front frame clip from 88 Thunderbird. Any thoughts.

just one.....don't do it. if you are really after more room in the engine compartment then you should consider using an aftermarket strut from conversion that will allow you to trim the towers back a bit or use a strut front conversion that does away with the upper control arm and will allow you to trim the towers back even more.
