Thats a FORD?

Just kidding, I'm sure it is very similar to stuffing the sbc in.

probably not much more involved than swapping in an sbc, might be easier for clearance because the distributor is in the front of the engine

I agree with kyle, it should be easier because of the dist location, and the angle of the heads should give a lil better clearance of the fenders.

The 351C is a wider engine than a sbc. I think someone else was going to try doing something similar, but was having steering shaft clearance issues. Try a search on username RBG.... or search for 351...

There's a link that might answer a few questions.... ^^^^^

oops, sorry, thinking about the wrong motor..... there is a guy in augusta georgia that makes a kit to eliminate the problem with the steering shaft, its a geared system which allowe you to move the shaft to a location which would allow you to put a wide girth motor into the compartment. i'll try to find the site for you if you have that problem

mad_sax@hotmail.com is RBG Racing. Yea, they were trying to do the same thing. Drop them an e-mail and ask them what they were up against. Also you can talk to Joey Quinn (Q Crazy). He's got a 302 setup so he may have some insite on the bigger motor.

isn't the 351 windsor a bit smaller(dimension wise) than a 351 cleveland?
