66 Coupe front end

jayinpa · 06-01-2002, 07:18 PM

I have a 66 coupe that had a straight 6 in it and I am putting in a 351. I have granada spindles and I know I need granada outer tie rod ends. I have a few questions:

What is the difference betwwen all the front end stuff (centerlink, pitman arm....) between a 6cyl car and a 8cyl car?

Will 289/302 motor mounts work or do I have to buy special.

What headers will fit? Manual stering.

thanks
Jay

When a 351 is installed in a First Gen Mustang, its pretty much a bolt in (If the car had a V8 to start with). Any parts vendor that deals with mostly antique stangs will be able to head you in the right direction.

I do believe you have to get a certian type of header for Steering clearance reasons.

As for the diffrence between 6cyl and 8 cyl steering pieces, there are none. I'm pretty darn sure (ALthough I am wrong alot

) there the same as the V8 pieces.

The V8 motor mounts will work, nothin special there.
