    You should have no problem putting a Windsor in. It is real similar to a 302

    There shouldn't be a whole bunch of clearance issues. I'm pretty sure some of the other members here have Windsors.

    a 351w will bolt up and fit but with the shock towers it makes plug changes a pain thats why i would say to notch the towers your hooker competition headers wont fit with out mods but when its all said and done you will love it [​IMG]

    I like mine [​IMG]
