Hi all, after the body work and paint are done i have dreams of chucking a 351 cleveland in my 71 xy falcon. Would anybody be able to give me an idea of how hard this would be and what else needs to be changed from the 6 cyl(250xflow)setup to an 8? eg:suspension, brakes, ect....
and would it be an ok idea to buy a v8 donar car to swap all this gear over from and what type of car would best fit the bill for my xy?
i appreciate any help and many thanks in advance
regards
Craig

fairlanes are great donor cars. only thing that may be different is the length of the tailshaft. Well it is in later models from XA onwards. Not sure about the earlier models. A donor car usually works out to be a much cheaper prospect as everything y
