Hello forum members,
new to this site but not 1970's fords.
worked for dealership for about 12 years as a drivability tech.
last 1970's car owned was a 1971 mercury cougar 351c 4v closed and toploader, wish I still owned it.
1978 merc. cougar, transplanted 351 c 4v closed & c4 , good sleeper of sorts.
so now I have this 71 fastback, solid body (texas car) and it has been garaged for the last 8 years.
had running Cleveland 2v c4 needs interior, also has all the mach 1 cosmetics.
the pending question I have is an engine swap.
thinking of a 1970 400 & c4 , not a problem for me to make power with this.
does anyone make motor mounts for this swap ?
realize I will need bellhousing and flexplate ?
would also consider stroker kit for the 351 c.
I do have access to a fresh 400 for cheap.
comments and suggestions ?
