I just bought a 362 hp engine from Ford Motorsports. It's a 351 of the Windsor type, and I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to put a 351w in a 66 or before. I know that they are a little narrower than the later models, but opinions have varied on wether or not the heads are going to bump against the shock towers. I've already had to swap the water pump, oil pan, and distributor. If anyone knows of any problems I am going to run into please let me know. I'll keep notes of all the mods I have to make and post it for reference when I'm done.
