CJ? Engine Well Clearance ?

	65 Mustang Considering 351W. Restorer says he thinks the fit between exhaust manifolds at the shock towers and at steering box is extremely tight and will be a major headache for tune ups. Anyone know for sure? I didn't think there was that much difference between the 289 and the 351W. CJ? Hey!

This swap has been done many, many times. The 351 Windsor is just a raised deck version of the 260/289/302. Clearance around the steering box is identical to the smaller block. The taller deck height puts the spark plugs closer to the shock towers, true, but how often are you going to change the plugs anyway? I would worry about a restorer who is not aware of the ubiquity of Windsor-into-1st-gen swaps. 180 Out

	Sorry for throwing you for a loop with the CJ reference.... but you'll see what that refers to in one of the responses. Any of those projects a 65 or 66? Ford made the 67s a bit bigger. I knew the engine would fit, but the installer had a 351W in a later year so he had more room, and wanted to make sure I knew it was going to be tight around the towers and steering box. So I figured I had better do some follow up before getting in to deep. After all, I sure would not want to have to jack up the engine every time I wanted to clean/change the plugs. Thanks for the help. By the way, happen to recall what kind of gas mileage you got with the 351W. Wondered how it would compare to the 289.

	So, anyone got an idea what I'm going to expect for gas mileage? That has got to be the last part of the equation since I have grave doubts that gas will ever get back to 35 cents a gallon... and I never did finish getting my silverware and glassware sets... but I did finish the dinnerware set... and the first wife found a use for it but I kept ducking.... : ) LOL Hey!

IIRC, there are stroker crank kits all the way up to 427 c.i. for this puppy. The thrill factor is inversely related to the gas mileage! -- John ThunderSnake #59

	That's a given for nearly any power plant. But since this is a daily driver street machine I can't go crazy with it... maybe a Paxton.....
