I believe that the C4 will take up to a 400CID, from then on up a C6 is REQUIRED. Of course, you wouldn't catch me dead using a c4 on a 400. But i think that the 351 should be fine.
: Yes, the C-4 will handle the 351W fine. The shock/spring towers will need to be cut back and re-welded or you will have trouble fitting exhaust manifolds/headers in it. You also won't be able to change spark plugs without this modification...
: : Hi. Don'y know if any of you remember me from last summer, but...I'm baaaack! Took a leave of abscence to raise $$$ for upgrading. Anyway, here's the deal: I'm going to try to stuff a 351W into a 74 Comet. 1)Will the C4 taka them extra torque? My donor car was a 77 Mav 302, which had an engine that would cost so much to whip into shape that the 351W is a cheaper option. And 2)I have read here that modifications are necessary to the engine compartment. What modifications specifically and, most importantly, what is the cost of having this done?
