351W swap

[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]a 351w will fit using the same headers as a 65-66 mustang. you will also need the mustang engine and frame mounts, best get the ones from the 66 or 68-70 stangs as they let the engine fit a bit better and are easier to find. the engine fits like it wound in a 65-66 mustang, which means tight but it goes. just out of curiosity why swap to a V8? you can build a six that will spank V8's if you want. my falcon is going to have a 250 swapped in when i get the time to build the motor. also some people have swapped in the 300 into the early falcons and mustangs. oh for front springs, the 540lb rate springs from mustangs plus is a good one for decent ride and good handling.
