To start I'll say that the car is a 80' fairmont that I picked up a while back to use some of my leftover mustang parts on. It has a 3.3 inline in it that burns a ton of oil, but otherwise it's a clean car. The key parts that are going to be going in this car are an e4te roller 351w, gt40 cylinder heads drilled out to fit the 351w, fox length 31 spline 5 lug 8.8 among other things of course. I still have some parts shopping to do and since I'm on a budget im considering a c6 for the strength and durability. I already have an aluminum crown victoria drive shaft that I'll have made to what i need and the proper oil pan so that shouldn't be an issue. As of now my main concern is fitment. First off will the v8 even fit inside the inline 6 k member? I did keep the k member from the parts car that i harvested a t5 from for a different project but either way I'd like to know for certin. Between convertible engine monts, adjustable double Hump cross member, and the k member spaced down will a c6 even be close to fitting? As far as headers are concerned what have some of you done for This? Finally my biggest question, are any c6s more desirable than others? I'm looking at getting one out of an older 80's econoline van but am not sure if it's a good candidate on not. I know the c6 wouldn't be the first choice for many, but everything considered I think it would be my best choice.
