I have build now the 351 to put it in my mustang .
now I put the RPM intake on it and see it is a lo higher than my old 289 setup.

I am wondering if it will fit now under my stock hood ?
Did someone has this setup in a 67 or 68 Mustang ?

It will fit under the stock hood if you get the right air cleaner setup. My brother has a 68 mustang with a 351W and stock hood. He uses a K&N airfilter setup, the K&N part numbers are:

Air filter base: 85-3540
Air filter element: E-3740
Air filter lid: 66-1401
I hope this helps

Thanks , for that partnumbers.

should fit fine. I have a 351C (taller than W) in a 67 and it fits tight but the air cleaner is a short element.
Hope this helps

The 351W has a 9.5" deck height, the 351C has a 9.2" deck height.

The intake you choose will play a large role, but the 351W shortblock is physically taller.

Good Luck!
