Welcome aboard!!

We had two members when we were on the old Easyboard forums that had Celevlands in the Fox Birds... One even had a home made fuel injection on it, using mostly 5.0 Mustang components.

That EFI 351C was sweet.  I wish I had the time/money/resources to pull that off.  It even fit under the stock hood if I recall.

Hey guys,
How similar is a 400 truck/van motor to a 351C or 351M?  How snug is a 351C/351M/400 in a Fox, and are there kits available for Fox cars that make installation easier?  I know where a low mileage '82 400 is that would probably have a low price tag and wondered if it would be worthwhile to inquire about it for my '84 LS V6 Cougar.  It would be different, if nothing else.  I remember hearing not-so-good stories about the 351M's, which may also apply to 400's.  Does anybody recall what those problems were?  I just thought I would ask.  Thanks for the info.

Something I just found on a quick Google search for "Ford History 400".
