    hi, i am trying to fit a 351c into my 51' ford frame, the body is off, and i cannot get the motor to sit low enough to make my driveline angle correct. I already put the rear sump and pan on the motor for clearence but dont know what else to do! any body know who makes the swap motor mounts? :confused:

    Did you use a late model Double hump pan? PM me, Chris50 and I did a 302 in a 50 Ford, we found several ins and outs.

    I put a 351M in my 53 Ford sedan but I clipped my so that's no help. Could you notch the crossmember and box it back in for clearance?

    mabe, Ive heard of guys having no problems what so ever, then other guys hack up their car trying to shoehorn one in... i guess i should just break down and get the swap kit.
