Won't fit without massive modification.
I'm pretty sure there are a few threads asking the same thing.

IMO it would fit, would be bloody tight though. Extractors might be an issue.

I measured up my EB bay when the i6 was out, from memory it would have fit (was tempted lol)

doesn't search function work anymore? Mate a 347 can be fitted legally and a 351 can't so why bother?

I think the Clevo is a little too wide, if you really want a 351 or biggern then go 351W, but I do not see the point as you can have a tonne of grunt from a factory looking 347W.

PM the user bushman, he had a fair go at putting a 351 in a EB.

There was a 351c powered Ea wagon on ford mods a few years back. They fit but how legal it will be who knows.

There's a thread somewhere here with AAAAAALL the specifics. They always end the same - too much time/effort/money for the horsepower.

It will fit, you need to use a non power steering rack, make engine/gearbox x member mounts and then trim the starter motor and the hole to accept an e series starter

Bush and i had the 302 (fairly sure its a 302clevo) motor and box sitting in an ed waiting on engine mounts to be made, LOTS of fucking about but its possible the next question is why?

The old school boss motors were epic and sounded awesome.
I want to build a stroked boss motor and drop it in a corty :mrgreen:

Saying that, I've got a few old school Windsor and Cleveland v8s, might make a boss motor
