The 351 will fit, but I have seen were the shock towers had to be beat in a little (hammer can work here). Mainly you are trying to make room for changing sparkplugs and putting the exhaust on.
=====================================
: i am currently driving a 200 cubic inch motor and stock tranny in a 1972 maverick. i plan to drop in a 351W. does anything need to be cut up like the shock towers? do i have to make any mods to the car other then just tranny crossmember and motor mounts? please write me back with any info you might have.
