    yes they will, the shock tower notch is so you can run headers and still change the spark plugs without lifting the motor. also a boss 302 will fit, ask ratio411. :)

    thats ok, he likes debate and usually doesnt take it too personal. The cleveland is a monster when built,my uncle had one that would easily roast my 302. but i like "windsor" blocks and the old oil spitting FE blocks...

    351c a boat anchor?...I don`t think Jack Roush would agree with that.

    Some boat anchors are a lot faster than others......
    The original Cleveland was made to run FAST - big valves and ports lots of air and fuel and more RPM than I want or need to run.

    its not a boat anchor because its a fomoco piece.BUT it is a smog fighter from the factory.and to me that means low output you have to build up a cleavland to make it good.
