what to do... 289,302, or 351

[jwboner]

My headers slightly rub the shock towers with a 302 block the same as when it had the 289. I too wanted the 351 but found that it wouldn't fit even with conversion headers. I guess it was in a few fender benders over the years or might have just settled a little closer, though my car has had a hard life. Two owners ago it was a full drag car and still has many of the mods left over on the street including slightly bent sheet metal here-and-there. Most cars it's not a problem but make sure it can handle it before spending the money on an engine that may not fit.
