I have found that that exhaust mainfolds won't clear the shock towers. Do they make a header that will allow for this swap ???? Thanks RW Question

I am not 100% positive about this, but i think you should check out Crite's Restoration. I think they have the shock tower kit you are after. Just click on Crite's.

Hey Inthegarge,

Check these links I read for info:

http://home.earthlink.net/~jopeterson/
http://www.fordmuscle.com/forums/fairlane-pages/351w-in-a-fairlane_48277.html

I've been contemplating doing the same thing. I'm holding back for now.

Jay

I'm restoring a 1962 Fairlane Sports Coupe also. I would like to put in a 351w but am hesitant because of the headers. Is it possible or do I need to go w/ a 302? Cool

If you;re not going with a Mustang 11 front suspension then as stated above order the Crities shock tower kit for clearance & save yourself a ton of trouble slippng that 351 with headers in your 62
