If all goes well I should be putting in my 351w next week. I have trial fitted the engine and I can tell you it is a tight fit and only a couple of headers fit without modifications. If you go with headers you have to use a power steering drop bracket if you have p/s. Craig couldn't be more right about going with the c-4, it's smaller, if rebuilt properly(more clutch discs, good converter)can handle a 351w an it eats about half the amount of horsepower a c-6 would, unless you plan on drag racing it's not a good idea. Make sure you get subframe connectors and you'll have to make a monte carlo bar, unless of course you like replacing windshields.
