WHICH BODY STYLE
Since earlier everybody convinced me to build a 351 instead of a 302 I know need to know which body to put it in. Keep in mind I plan on running about 650hp through it. Is there any one body that is stronger? Anyone that would be easier to bolt it into? Not going to be a vert must be a coupe. Could be Fox body, don't want SN95, doesn't have to be a 'stang. Fairlanes, Falcons, these cars would work too correct????

RE: WHICH BODY STYLE
Notchbacks have strongest and lightest bodies, followed by hatchback, then verts.
89' notchback would be perfect, since no air bags to worry about.
89 'and newer have mass air and 90' and newer have airbag, but no tilt steering wheel

RE: WHICH BODY STYLE
Had a friend in highschool put a 351W in a early 80's p.o.s. Galaxy, we used to smoke 5.0's all day long and laugh at looks on their faces.
older cars are just heavy.
( btw: this was in 90' so the 5.0 was the car to beat )

Would anybody think it would be cool to put it in one of the older cars like the Fairlane or the Falcon or Galaxy? How strong are their chassis
