View Full Version : How can I mount a 351 in place of an FE Block?
If anybody knows how I can mount a 351 in place
of an FE block I would greatly appreciate that help. I have a
1969 Mach 1 that once housed a 428cj, and a 69 grande that I
was hoping to use the 351 and rest of the equipment back to the rear from. Is this possible, and how?
Thank you.

it should be really easy, you already have everything in the grande, just use the frame mounts.
not sure what else you need, or what you mean,everything from the grande is a direct swap into the other car. you already have everything you need you do the swap.
do you have any specific questions?
I was under the impression
that ford, in order to make space for
the big block, cut back the shock
towers. I thought that this may have
made it impossible for a small block,
and it’s engine mounts, to just bolt
in place. I guess I was wrong.
Thanks again

nope not true. there was no modifications done to the shouk towers that would make it so you cpould not put the 351w into it. there is a reinforcing plate there, but it will in no way make it so the 351w won't fit.
this should be good news :wink:
Great news :D Thanks a lot for the info.
