Another chebby in a Ford swap. No no no no no.

Anything is possible with enough money and ingenuity.If you are going to all the bother to swap to a mustang II front end pretty much any ford engine will fit...Being a die hard ford fan the thought of the chevy motor in it makes me ill..

Don't let these guys bother you, it's your car, do what you want. A place to start might be protouring.com and do a search for chicken nugget. I know he has put a ls motor in a falcon although in that link it is not the featured car, he has pics of the falcon he put the ls in.

I'm sure you'd get more help if you were putting a '04 Ford motor in it!

Indeed going MII will allow just about anything imaginable. While the LSx would drop right in then, so would a Ford semi-hemi. A cheap Lima/385-based Ford with twin side-hung turbos was the first thing to pop into my mind. 800hp on pump gas should be about right, yes?

I would think if you notched the shock towers the LS1 would fit.

Pro-touring site has several Fords with Ls motors.

Cool engines indeed, but not for me.

I know the LS series are just killer motors, i have one
I am trying to find a comparible Ford motor for my Falcon too
Trouble is - Finding an aluminum sm.block Ford that, with a simple head/cam change will make 500 + hp for the 4,940.00 i have in the LS is a bit of a challenge.
A guy i met at the summers first criuse in, has a 65 Mustang with coil overs, i think the front suspension is from Fatman, he did notched the towers, says the LS slipped right in

I would talk to the guys at Roc and Custom about a MII setup. Might give the guys at Mustangs to Fear a call as well, they do custom motor motors and cross members.

How bout this?..Don't look for a comparable ford engine..Find a chevy to stick the LS in and be happy...

Or a light 240, 260, 280 Datsun Z car:

This one is a real sleeper. Very docile and he drives it 50 miles to the track and then swaps on a pair of drag radials. Runs [email protected]+mph in the quarter and then drives it home afterwards. Only trick part other than the junkyard stock LS is the turbo and lots of his own home brewed laptop tuning . . . . Dam techies.

Low & behold a 70? Cougar came into my local yard, says its a 351C, 9", have to brush up on my 351C identity clues
The 351C has same trans bolt pattern as the Windsor, has it not?

Easiest way I know to tell if its a Cleveland and not a Windsor is looking at the intake. The Cleveland has a "dry intake". The radiator hose does not connect to the intake, it goes to the block in the front of the engine. Also, it has 8 valve cover bolts.

As far as heads, it can be 2v or 4v. Take a look at the front corner of the passenger side head. I attached a picture of mine circled. If there's a 4 stamped on it, its the 4V heads. I've heard the dot next to it means open chamber but I've seen that argued on forums before.
