I sent that picture in; it's a '75 COMET G/T with a 351 Windsor that Pete put in. He no longer owns the car. The shock/spring towers had to be cut-back and welded to accomodate the exhaust system. He used a TALL 14" chrome air cleaner with no hood clearance problems although he did cut a hole in the hood under the G/T hood scoop so it was functional. The car also has a 9-inch rear-end and a 4-speed manual tranny. Believe it or not, his '72 Grabber with 302 blew the doors off that 351 Comet. That's why I think it's not worth all the extra work of installing the 351. You get about 25 ft./lbs. more torque from the longer stroke but that's about it...
