I've pulled out the 302 out of my '31 Model A and it's not looking pretty. Looks like it's in need of a thourough rebuild - heads shaved, new seals, timing chain, etc. I've got a shot at a 351, but am wondering what issues I'll have with that proposed swap. I know one thing that I'm concerned is the steering column to exhaust manifold on the passenger side.

What do the experts out there think? I'm just getting in to this "rodding" thing, and most of my experience is swapping or rebuilding exactly what came out goes back in - except for unternal to the motor.

Anyone out there have a 351 Clevland in a '31 Model A? What probelms can I anticipate?

Thanks

Dave
