    hi everyone i have a 1973 maverick with a 351 windsor and a 302 to go in it. was hoping to get advice or experience stories from people on a twin turbo kit that is said to fit a 302 if anybody knows anything please help. also trying to find out why my front seat brackets were held up with a bunch of washers to keep seats level. thanks in advance.

    I would hope you will keep the 351 in it. With the 351 the intake and pulleys will change somewhat. Welcome to the forum:tiphat: I am a stock engine builder, cant help you on the hi-po stuff.

    thanks

    helped build 351 being told it would fit fine but its a bit to big. dont have the 351 in it yet because i have to purchase one of the new mustang ll ifs kits and cut out my shocktowers to get any exhaust in the car around $3000 for kits ive seen. if i got the turbo i think i could save money and just put my 351 in a truck later on?

    Welcome to the board. A 351W will fit with no mods, but changing the plugs is a nightmare. You really need to cut the shock towers back. A Mll type front end is not needed, but it would sure make things easier.:Welcome:
