Default 351c with T56 conversion

Hey guys,

Whats the easiest way to get a T56 behind a 351c?

Are there bellhousings/adaptor plates?

Who produces them?

Why?...

But IF you manage to get it done, you will need to engineer it.

Yes but why put into a BA? Too much effort/money/stuffing around.

It's an old school engine, it belongs in an old school car imo. But hey your money, your time, you do what you like.

EDIT: I see you changed the title of the thread and the first post. Good one champ. Had second thoughts about putting the clevo in a BA did ya?

Um think he wants a 6 speed manual behind his clevo in his old school car mate not the other way around. LOL

But yes it can be done. I would be asking mal wood about it. Pretty sure I have seen an xa coupe with a t56 somewhere before.

Yes that's what he's asking NOW, he changed the whole thread after I questioned his logic.

He was asking if he put a 351c in a BA and have it on straight gas would he avoid emmisions?

Anyway I'm outta here this is stupid.

Yes because of emissions, how do you think I put a 351c into a 1991 GQ patrol? on straight gas....

Yes I am thinking about putting a 351c into a BA falcon. Why you ask?

Because I have a $10K motor and the chance to buy a $1k BA falcon.

I changed the thread and title because I thought of a better question and didnt realise people had already replied to this one...

It bothers me when people question other peoples ideas.... I would love to see a clevo in a ba and anything else odd and interesting....

Dont know the answer to your question but good luck with your project.

Even on straight gas a Clevo wouldnt pass emissions to BA spec.
The later emissions are different again and just going to straight gas doesnt cut it.

You won't believe how many people told me I couldn't put a 351c into a GQ patrol, but I spoke to engineers and I did.

Now I'm not saying i can put a 351c into a BA, but until a Engineer tells me that I can't I am of the opinion that i can.

I'll speak to an engineer and get back to you

Tremec into a small block Ford would be the same as any small block Ford TMK the bolt patern is the same...
Emissions would prevent a Clevo as it is with carb etc being legal in a B.A...

Its easy to put a Clevo into a patrol.
The patrol is a totally different set of emissions standards to a BA. My 90 model Maverick didnt even come with a cat convertor from factory.
I put a EFI Windsor in my Maverick back when everyone said it couldnt be done.
