Default Windsor 351 into a '66??

I'm thinking about swaping out my straight 6 for a 351 Windsor on my '66. What modifications if any to the mounts are needed? Do I need the steering linkage from a V8?

There is a section in the FAQ that will help with a parts list for the swap, IMO the tone of the FAQ is somewhat dismal, but the info is pretty good.

I have done this swap, it is not hard, but it is extensive and can be expensive..... but if you start with the right car it is viable.

There are a lot of old ideas about these swaps out there, I will let Mustang Steve present what is more or less my point of view, times have changed since many opinions were formed regarding this issue:
