66 Mustang Acceleration

0-60 in the vid with no problem, 351 W powering it! Edit I forgot to say it is a 351 stroker which makes it a 408... since I was called out on it...

Hey, I have a 66' notchback and I heard that you have to cut the shock towers to fit in a bigger motor. What did you do and was it bolt in or fab all over again?

[jimmiedoss]

Actually the engine fits tight but there is no problems. I did put new mounts in there but the new mounts did bolt to the existing mount area. I also relocated the battery to the trunk.

How'd you lower it in? Did you have any scrtaches? I'm a college kid looking to take out my crappy 302 and throw in a 351 W and not go crate because I want the orginal look. Can you tell me the steps?

[jimmiedoss]

I am a college kid too, NMSU. I used an engine lift to lower it in without the transmission in, it was easier to put the tranny in underneath. There were no scratches you just have to have someone there to help you guide it down and in, the biggest thing is not to rush. Depending on the headers you choose they may need to be dented to miss your upper control are bolt. Keep it on the lift and bolt it to the mounts nothing to it. What are you gonna do with your 302?

lmao you stroked it out more than 50CI?? thats just sick.

[jimmiedoss]

Oh yeah and it runs like a champ very fun! I have even considered putting a roots blower on it for some extra kick!

[Shifterkartsforlyfe]

Oh nice what are you studying? I'm going to a community college and then I'm going to UTI. Yeah I have a stage 3 aluminum c4 it's good to about 650 horsepower,yeah because I really want to get power and do a Windsor swap. I have flaming river headers polished and they are dented for groud clearane the drag on the ground haha. I'm going to sell my 302 it's actually a 306 bored, its a hi-po build I'm selling it for about $5,000 to $8,500.

ya man for sure i will make a video. I will let u know

[jimmiedoss]

Dang sounds like an awesome setup, I had actually wanted to do a cleveland but freaked out about clearances and such. Another thing that made me go with the windsor is I found it first and for a good price I suppose both ways are a good way to make 500+ HP. You should let me know when you link a vid
