Default 351W question

I was wondering if a 351W (with the right headers) would fit in my 65FB without removing or augmenting the shock towers?

Yes the JBA Mid-Length headers will work without tower mods.

That is what I thought...I just wanted to make sure. I appreciate it Adrenolin. I am beginning to plan my build and didn't know if it would be an issue.

Your problem will be hood clearance. It might require you to run a VERY short, read restrictive, air filter.

I believe you can run a regular filter, so long as you have a dual plane intake, and no spacer.

I am not super smart on engine specifics and I am def still learning so bear with me (feel free to correct me if I am wrong). I am going to be utilizing my car as a DD when all said and done. With that being the case, am I correct in assuming that a dual plane intake would be the more appropriate choice for an intake on a DD engine?

Yes it fits but its a tight one make sure you get the right headers and you might have to massage them a little bit.

To my knowledge yes, seems the only applications I see the single planes in are for very heavily modified street or track.
