<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>I have a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe, that originally came with a 170 motor, that was replaced by the original owner with a 200, which is in very poor condition.

Keep in mind, im on a limited budget for this project. Are there pre fab'd mount kits for the 351, or would i have to fabricate my own?

a 351 will fit and a 289 and 302 arent much different. In my eyes anyway.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A CLEVELAND OR WINDSOR? IF ITS A WINDSOR ALL V8 TRANNYS WILL BOLT UP BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT LENGTHS. CLEVELANDS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

When I was a kid, I had a 66 coupe with a factory 289. After it wore out, we put a 351w and "regular" c4 in it. I never looked back, it was a world of difereance, the torque was there on command, and man the engine bay just looked stuffed full of v8 goodness. If you have the means, I would go with the 351w.</P>
