So the people who attempted to put the 351c in the fox body mustangs. How did it go?

Used to be able to buy headers and oil pans & oil pump pickup screens for those swaps in the early days. Everything else was pretty much the same as the Windsor family as far as bellhousings, motor mounts etc. Now a days I don't think much is available to make it easy.

Do you have any pictures of the Mustang you're planning on putting the 351c in?

 

[First 89 Mustang]

Not right now I don’t

oil pan----easy
headers----may have to get a set built... every chassis builder out there has a header guy, so get with one.. install engine and deliver it to their shop.. in about a week they will have your headers ready...
mounts--- stock
tranny---- will bolt up no problem..

If I did not already have a Dart based supercharged assembly in my car, I would definitely do a 351C in my Fox. I have one sitting in the corner of my garage, just kicking it in the corner, waiting for a project to be used in. After I injected and tuned the 400 in my '79 Bronco, I just know that a 351C with prepped 4V heads and injection would be an absolutely riot to drive in a Fox or any Mustang, for that matter.

Clevor. Like in that budget build Ed showed. 😆

The air cleaner lid as well as the air pan are likely not dailed in.

Thanks for the advice.

No but I can send some if you’d like.?

Regarding the Clevor versus a straight up Cleveland, is there any benefit to the 2.75" main journal on the Cleveland? As opposed to the larger 3.0" main journal on the Windsor.

 

[65fasback]

There absolutely is if you start to spin it up. Why Dart and the like adopted that in their aftermarket blocks

Went well. Talk to Bob at D&D Automotive Specialties, he’s a wealth of knowledge on Cleveland stuff. I built a 393C with his assistance and did the swap. He sells short tubes and I believe Heddman makes long tubes for the swap. Canton makes a pan. Some of the March Performance Windsor stuff can be fabricated to work. I initially did it with a C6 but have since swapped to a C4.
