    Ford 351 motor in a 1948 Ford Car

     



    I am starting to collect parts for my next project, a 1948 Ford Coupe. I want to install a Ford 351 motor, my question concerns oil pan/crossmember clearance. I would prefer to run a dropped front axle but if going to a Mustang IFS eliminates nasty clearance issues I am not adverse to going IFS.
    Thanks

    Why not run a 351W?
    You will have more oil pan choice's and it can be bored and stroked to 420 cubes if you want to.

    A 351 Windsor is what I am referring to.
