Anyone squeezed a 351c into a Maverick....

Looks like I'll be getting a 73 Grabber Maverick. 302 in it now but not running. Would a 351c (I've got one sitting in my garage collecting dust) fit between the shock towers? I've seen a few with a windsor but, isn't the cleveland a bit wider?

I've seen one some time back. MAN was it tight!

Actually, it fits better than a 351w does. It's a bit shorter, and the exhaust ports are at more of a "down" angle than the W. I'd still recommend chopping the towers, though...makes plug changed WAY easier. I've done it, and it was easy.
