- 1973 Grande 351 Cleveland/FMX stock
1973 Mach1 LS2/T56
I have no idea what is going on but for whatever reason the texts in my previous two posts have just disappeared so blame that on the cruel mistress of the internet. For the fourth time now, I have swapped a t5 behind my 351 Cleveland in place of my fmx. Everything is already put together and all that is left is the starter. However, the modern driveline blockplate is different from the stock one so the original starter does not seat correctly into the starter hole because it hits the block. I called Modern Driveline and they said a foxbody starter would work. As it turns out it doesn't. the starter fits yes but, the mounting holes do not line up. So my question is has anyone done this swap with this company or another? and if you have did you run into this problem? Or should I just trailer my product of two years of labor down to Arizona and push this raging headache into the Grand Canyon?
