1955 t bird engine...........

[fordrodsteven]

installing a Boss 351c in my 1955 t-bird, with a c4. cant wait to get it on the road.

In talking with a guy I know (40 plus years in the Thunderbird club). He has done a few updates for other people besides doing two of his own Thunderbirds.... He tells me the biggest issues are clearing the steering box and the exhaust manifolds or headers that you choose.

Gonna be a tight squeeze. I put one in 56 SD and it is tight.

so yes, chevy motor mounts are present.


wonder if a chevy motor will clear the steering?

Yes - it was a white one - wasn't sure of the engine size, only remembered it was a 54.

It might have been this one???
A couple years ago the owner of a white '56 Bird was here, it turned out to have a 239 in it.
