Interchangeable Engines for 1970 Ford Galaxie

[cow_towngirl]

I am trying to get my 1970 Ford Galaxie on the road, and would really appreciate if someone could tell me what engines are interchangeable for a 351 cleveland.

The cleveland is the smallest of the big blocks. So anything larger should easily match the motor mounts already in that car. A 351 windsor is the largest of the small blocks. If you want to go the small block/C4 transmission route, be sure you get the motor and trans mounts that go with them. Then be prepared to possibly do some cutting and fabrication to get the mounts in if that car didn't have the holes for both big block/small block setup from the factory.

That car will accept a 302, 351C or 351W, 390 and a 429/460. The 351W, 302 will bolt to the C4 I'm sure (hey that ryhmes!). You should find out what transmission that you already have in the car. You shouldn't have to do any cutting, just get the right motor and chassis mounts. A Ford dealer should be able to help with those.
