70 mustang

mtorpy_98 · 02-02-2001, 09:07 PM

I have a 1970 hard top Mustang with a 302 and a C4 automatic. Do you know if any larger moyor will fit in the car without much modifing ? My car is stock.
Also, what motor would you recommend as far as good performance and resale. Is a windsor or clevand more desireable as far as 351 go ?

Thank you,

Just about anything will fit in a 70 engine bay.

Ease of changing??? I would go with a 351W. Either stock displacement or stroked. They are available and lots of parts are offered to hop them up.

If you're keeping the C-4, the 351W should bolt right up.

I have seen 70 mustangs with a 429 in them with no modification. But I agree the way to go would be the 351 windsor.
