3.8 to 351 or so

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone's nestled a 351w block into a 90 t-bird? How hard is it going to be to get past the wiring? Do they make headres? I was just wondering...

Thanks,
Lee

I have a buddy who has one in an 88 t-bird with a tremec t5 in it. He had to do some major mods, but I know it works. Now for the 90 it has alot more room than the 88 style had so you should be able to fit it in there. As for wiring keep it simple and go carb, it will make it alot easier on you.
