351C FITMENT HELP!!!!

I have a 351C in my '65. All you need is to cut the shock towers. Use the Crite's lit (around $100). Trans, motor mounts etc are all the same. There are rumors of headers that will fit, but I doubt that you will find any.
I do suggest stepping up to an aluminum radiator. My 8.9:1 engine would run a little hot with the stock style 2-row. An electric fan will definitely help, too.

Crities or Auto Crafters has the kit you need to cut your shock towers,it comes with a pattern to mark where to cut and plate steel pieces to weld in this is your best way to go .it's what i did on my 64 same under hood style.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

351C FITMENT HELP!!!!

The Crites shock tower kit was in the car when I got it. It measures 27.25-27.5 inches between the plates.

I dumped some pics here:

Forgot to resize them before I did, so they are huge.
