Have a few questions for the experts. I have a 1965 Coupe that has been sitting in a barn for many years. I am looking at doing a resto-mod on it. It has an I6 in it if I get to do this I wanted to put at least a 289 in it possibly a 302. Do the shock towers have to be modified for a 302 to fit? I realize to do this lots of things have to be changed but that isn't my concern at the moment.

 

your shock towers do not need to modified to fit a 302 in your car. others who has done this swap can help you more than i can

 

This is a common question hers
Check the faqs & qustions section

 

Short answer...No. There will however be several things you will need to change.

 

short answer for the shock towers is no but everything else is a yes well atleast suspension/drivetrain wise
