I've found a deal on a 351C from a 1970 Torino. Anyone foresee any problems dropping it into my '87 Stang? Besides the usual cleanup issues, I really don't want to worry about anything like new transmission linkage or anything. |

Hey man, good choice. The only real prob you will have is getting it to fit in the car. Don't get me wrong, it will go, but how do you plan on doing tune up work on it w/o a headache? Anyway, if your car was a 302 car, then you shouldn't have to worry about replacing the trany. I do believe that the 1970 Clevland will bolt to the 289,302,351W bellhousing.
