Welcome to the forums.
So you don't get another holiday from this forum have a quick read of the rules . Other then that just about anything you would be looking for just use the search button at the top of the page , If its not found in there then Post up a Thread with all the info you have and i'm sure someone will be able to help you. I don't have a US car at all but it is really on my list to get one 1 day..... 66-67 mustang would be nice. Do they have a lot of go-fast bits for clevo's over there still ? Cheers Swanny

thanks for welcome/advise tight rules here feel like im in foriegn country.67-68 mustang are cousins. 65-66 do not ride as nice, bumpy. 67-68 great choice drop in 351-c and fly,tight fit to change spark plugs.we still have 351-clevo,they lost a little popularity because heads here were not as good as yours.edelbrock and mpg came out with aluminum heads 2 years a go. i have 5 351-c engines.my 70 mustang is a 390, but soon my 351-c engines will be in it.i am surprised are 66-69 falcon are not so popular there 2 door 4 door,look almost identical to yours.390-460 not common there i understand,nothing like cruisin 100mph on front half of four barrel carb.i am curious if your junkyards look like they did here in 1980.if you do a stang or ford let me know some are easier to get parts.

I have a 69 XW with a clean and stroked 351 , that I am doing but has been put on hold for a while.
with the good exchange rate of money atm it is wise to buy from the u.s.a. and get it direct if possible . |

your 351-c heads are popular over here for people who want street strip.a bunch of us were talking about them on a forum over here a couple days ago.
