welcome to the forums.

your in for some wiring.

you need to rewire everything.

and you need a new harness as well.

swannracer · September 26th, 2007, 05:24 PM

Good luck getting a modular to fit in a 65. I hope you have some fabrication skills.

You can fit anything in pretty much anything if you can fabricate. Here's a picture of the 351W out of my white car in it's new home.

are you dead serious on that one thats your car?

because my friend has a blue focus zx3 and has lots of money and wants to drop a 351w in his ever since he saw a you tube video with one

how much does it cost?

HMUSN · September 26th, 2007, 10:47 PM

I bet that's a little faster than a turbo Focus...

69fastback · September 26th, 2007, 10:51 PM

It's not my car, but it's the enigne I built for my white one. I had the car in my possesion for a long while and have driven it a lot though.

The guy who built it sold it about 6 months ago, and whoever bought it decided to throw on a 300 shot with no tune, and blew it apart.

I'm sure the youtube video was of this car because it was the only one with a 351W to our knowledge, and the video floated around forever.

It cost him quite a bit of money, but it has a four link, and some other good stuff under it. It ran a 10.52 on a 150 shot, and was fully forged internally, so it could have handled a lot more with a tune.

Here's the video before we got it tuned up good, and he was short shifting it. That thing turned 7000 all day, and he was shifting at 5800.

69fastback · September 26th, 2007, 10:52 PM

oh and I miss my engine

I'd like to have it back for the blue car.

69fastback · September 26th, 2007, 11:02 PM

Here's the only picture I have under the back. You can't fully appreciate what's been done.

nba1341 · September 26th, 2007, 11:17 PM

got any more pictures of it at all?

69fastback · September 26th, 2007, 11:22 PM

I think that's all I have. I'll call my buddy that built it tomorrow, and see if he can email me some pics of it.
