Jerry, I'll second the reinforcement idea, thanks. Heck, I may do it anyway just in case I get too heavy on the throttle, lol. I hope the mount itself will be the first to "give", which is what I want, since that's the easiest part to replace.

I'm also currently waiting for Tim Meyer to get back to me about the Kevko oilpan, and the clearance I'll need. I got about 6.75" or so from the high point on the K-member to the bottom of the block-to-oilpan surface. R&P might be another issue, though these pans are made for Clevelands into Foxes.

Haven't posted on this project in quite awhile. Haven't posted much on the site neither. With some issues that popped up this year, I don't expect to be able to work on the car in the next 4-6 years, so I will call this project on hold. I hope I don't lose the car, but will try my best to keep it.... this is one project I've been dreaming up for quite awhile, and would hate to see it not finished. Later.

EDIT 9-17-2011: That post was made shortly after I got notified that MN re-instated their child support payments 8 years after I was told I was done. (she moved out of country) I was also told 8 years of back support due. With the economic hard times and recession taking its toll already, with this added on, I was stuck being broke. Here we are a year later, and I got out of paying back the 8 years' worth. They do take out current support from my paycheck, but it picked up from the previous amount prior to the 8 years. So with 1 year gone already, I have just under 3 years to go until she's 18. I've never met her, but in MN, it doesn't matter. The father pays regardless. Anyway, with things getting back on track, I've found the 351C manifolds I wanted, and am now in search of a 351C fox swap oil pan. With that, I can finalize the clearance issues, and then go on to building the car.

4-6 years? Wow, sorry to hear that. I am going through a rough patch at work right now and don't have time for toys, but I am hoping for relief in a couple of months. 4-6 years would kill me. If there is anything we can do to help, let us know.

sure, If you need stuff for it, just ask. I'll give you anything I got for it.

Early Stang 351C exhaust manifolds.

Finally got a set, and by the looks of them, I think they just might fit.

Been spending a lot of time thinking about this project, and after surveying my other projects, I've decided to not buck the trend with a stroked 400 (434cid), and instead go with something more simple and street worthy. I had intentions of taking this car down the strip, but I think I'll save that for a day when I win the lottery.

been awhile (again!) and now I have a free 351W block coming my way. I'm considering going 393W stroker.
Engine will be carbed, and AOD will be used, using Lokar carb adapter.

Post edit: I'm already talking myself out of the Clevor idea, lol. I'll set the block in with the 400's heads to check for exhaust clearance and go from there.

I dunno, I could go either way.

Get an AODE from a newer vehicle and a stand alone controller...

Other than that, that's close to what my final goal is, only with efi.

I'd love to to have a Clevor 393 or so...someday..

... and so it's been four years. Car is still here in the backyard next to the Fairlane, waiting its turn. :)

So drop a clevor in it already :p.

I'm doing a gt40 swap and already done my t-5 and I'm pretty famous for never getting anything done...
