I own a 69 coupe with a 200 ci straight 6 installed and a 3 speed transmission. I have come across a 351 Cleveland and am debating whether or not to buy it. I am know a lot must be done to put the 351 in. I am trying to figure a ball park figure for what needs to be done to swap the motors (i.e. do I need a whol enew transmission or just a conversion? Will I need to improve my suspension? Will a performance clutch be neccessary? etc). If you have made such a switch or are a generally more informed person than myself please help me out and let me know what I am gegtting myself into. Thanks.
