I have a 1985 t-bird...currently has a v-6. I have been trying to find a 351w but cant find a good one....I found a descent 390 from a '69 mustang. I know I can do a 302/351 motor using a k member from a mustang or t-bird with a v-8 or a 4 culinder. (I beleive its the same for those..just diffrent for v-6. My question is how hard would it be to squeeze the 390 into it?. The 390 has a c6 trans. I know changing the plugs I may have to drillnsome holes but I dont want to have to destroy the firewalls to get it in there....
any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated
..thanks

I would have just waited for a 351w to pop up as that would have been a mess most likely.
