theres a huge aftermarket for the c and theres no reason not to put it in a fox? www.ausfordparts.com http://www.chiheads.com/ the stock 4v heads flow enough for 500+ hp untouched so theres really not that much of a need for an aftermarket just add a cam, headers, carb and ur there get some of the alum aftermarket and ull be way up there with an extremely quick revving motor that will turn some high rpms with a small oil restrictor mod. to put one in a fox all u need is a dual sump oil pan for a fox,headers and the pulley to be adapted and u dont even need the expensive swap headers the cheapo 71-73 mustangs fit with a little persuading on the drivers side and i dont think the passenger need very little if any at all

I thought the 351m/400 was a 351c block modified to fit 400 heads, thus making the 351c a different bell housing than the windsor engines
