Default Re: Cleaveland in a '66

yes the 351c fits in the 65-66 mustangs, but it is tight, and you do need swap headers as the stock exhaust manifolds will be up against the shock towers. the 351c bolts up to the stock 289 engine mounts, and to any 6 bolt bellhousing the 289 bolts to. you will need more radiator though, and if you use an intake other than the performer or the stock 351c intake, you likely will need a hood scoop for clearance.

as for putting 351c heads on a 289, it can be done, but for the money you will spend getting an intake, and having the machine work done, you would be well on your way to buying a set of aftermarket heads for the 289 that will come close to the 351c 2v heads airflow.
