This is whats in the dash now...the old factory deck was long gone before I got the car so it looks like some cutting will be needed......

I think a nice McIntosh single din would look nice in there. It would look vintage while adding the esque.

A 351 Cleveland is not a big block. A GOOD troll would have checked his facts before making a BS thread...................

Now, the Windsor was a small block, as alluded to by the person that mentioned interchangeability with the 302. The family included the 221, 255, 260, 289, 289HP 351W and Boss 302 engines and was in production from 1964 - 1995

The Cleveland was a bigger block from the 335 family (aka, big small block). The engine family included the 351C, 400, 351M and Boss 351 and was in production from 1970 - 1982.

A 351 Cleveland is NOT a big block. Ford made two big block production engines, need me to tell you what they are?



Edit for clarity: actually two different big block designs with assorted cubic inches

The 351 Cleveland was introduced in 1969 as Ford's new performance car engine and was built through the end of the 1974 model year. It incorporated elements learned on the 385 big-block series and the Boss 302, particularly the poly-angle combustion chambers with canted valves and the thin-wall casting technology.

Nope. Clevelands, Modifieds and Windsors are small blocks. Ford Big Blocks: FE engines: 360, 390, 427 & 428 Lima Engines: 429 & 460 Seems like there was another displacement FE engine also, so i may have left one out. But you are still just as wrong, so deal with it.

Since this car has factory power windows and locks which are very rare on vintage mustangs...I decided not to tamper with the door panels.....
