    Its been done with the Factory 302 manifolds before. Most guys shave the shock towers to help with future spark plug changes.

    260,255,289,302, and the 351W are all in the windsor family. They got the nickname when the 351C came out. The 351W were made in windsor canada. And the 351C in cleveland Ohio.
