I have a 65 stang coupe and want to put a 351 w in it what things will i need to change to allow for the engine to fit will it just drop in or are there modifications to be made any help would be greatly appreciated

It is a direct swap except for one detail, you need 351W headers, Headman sells them.

Another detail is hood clearance, but only if you use a high-rise intake manifold.

Trans bolt pattern and mounts are exactly the same as the 298.

Check out Mustang Monthly And Mustang and Fords magazines they're always running articles about tranny swaps. There is also a back issue service. Check out their web sites also. www.mustangmonthly.com and www.mustangandfords.com.----Chuck

4 speed or 5spd? Big difference in what it takes! What's in there now?

The mustang mags are nothing but a great big shiny advertisement for whoever's stuff they're pushing at the time. They WILL steer you wrong.
