Default 1965 Coupe block question

Does anyone have a list of blocks that will fit in a 1965 coupe with only changing the mounts and suspension.

would the 351 deck height be to much? he'd have to change his hood right.

Yes the 351c fits no mods

No you don't have to change the hood to run either the 351c or 351w.

The w is a very common swap you just can't run a tall intake, you run a mid to low intake and a drop base air cleaner. The c is a less common swap but still a bolt in with the correct mounts and headers and will also fit under the stock hood with a low to mid rise intake and a drop base air cleaner

ok thats why i was thinking it wouldnt fit, everyone around here runs the taller intakes on them, and i've never seen a 351 in a 65-66
