I wanted to buy a 351w with an FMX trans bolted to it from a guy near me, and told him I wanted to put it in my 67 mustang. He told me it won't fit, because its for a truck. i don't understand what he told me because I know 351w engines are in mustangs throughout the country with no issues, because as far as I know, theyre a direct bolt in.

He also told me the numbers on the block show its a 69/70 engine/trans so what will I have to do to fit this in my 1967?

thanks for the help. and I would love to upgrade from my 289 sitting in my backyard!!!

 

it will bolt right in

 

even with the fmx?

 

The FMX came in 71-73 Mustangs and the 351w came in 69 Mustangs and you can put both in any Mustang. If the trans is from a 4x4 you would need to change the tailshaft and housing to put it in a car.

 

iirc the fmx only had one size bell housing idk if it will fit in the transmission tunnel?/? but the 351 will definitely fit

 

The hardest part will be the truck FMX has the wrong shift lever, Mustangs require the floor shift style.

 

The FMX has the neutral safety switch on the shifter, C-4/6 has it on the trasnmission. For the FMX you will have to find a shifter out of 70-73 mustang that has the neautral saftey switch in it.

 

OR a 69.. Mine is in the shifter also.
