Will a 351 bored to a 427 fit well in my 66? i've asked this before but my main concern is the headers...will it fit or will i have to tilt the engine? And also how much power will it have?

351C no (not without changing front suspension so you can notch the shock towers), 351W yes with special headers

Hedman long tubes w/ 1 5/8" primaries will fit. JBA shorties are also a pretty popular choice.

I'm not trying to nitpick, but I thought you might want to know the correct terminology: "stroked", i.e. "a 351 stroked to a 427". Anyway, special swap headers will be necessary, and changing plugs will be a hassle and a half (I've heard). As an alternative, you might consider a 302 stroked to 347, which will still make killer power.

Hope this helps.

Just a minor correction. Both the 351c and the 351w will bolt into a 65-6 engine bay. Stroking it to 427 has no impact on the physical size of the motor. Both require special headers and the 351c requires 64 falcon motor mounts.

With regard to power potential, you really haven't supplied enough information for a WAG even. I have a 408 stroker and I put down 394 at the rear tire (about 500 at the flywheel) with a mild build.

I'm glad someone said something. If you bored it to a 427, would you have a place to put a piston ?
