auto or manual ?? windsor clevo
it will fit under a 2ltr bonnet need a bronko sump to fit the cross member and the engine mounts from memory
they prob wont cert. to do 351 these days as think you can now only step up one engine size eg 4.1 to 4.9
i ran the clevo with the single rail and found it easier to fit the motor and box to the front cross member with suspension n tyres n all fitted the lowered the body back on to the cross member over the motor
most use the windsor with the auto as the windsor narrower and easier to fit and the auto easier to set up
