Would like to see clearance between firewall and top of inlet manifold, also how close the front end dress is to the thermos, and clearance between extractors and shock/strut towers.

Front dress is the same distance away from thermo's if you use 5.0 Falcon stuff.

Here is a pic of the front dress.
I have routed the belt differently so I can use the stock belt.

Good job on figuring out the belt route.
My main concern is how did you go for bonnet clearance ? Also what deck height 351 do you have (9.2" , 9.5" , ....) ?

Only Ford racing or aftermarket blocks are available with a Cleveland deck of 9.2". Also most all aftermarket blocks have cleveland 2.749" mains as opposed to the windsors' 3.00". |

OK here is what has been holding me up.
I think I will run it with the new bearings until it looses oil pressure again and then go silly.

This is the grinding I did to the converter mounting lugs to get it to fit the flexplate.
It is a scat flexplate but if you use a different brand you may not have to do any grinding. You can see the bead just below the ring gear that was stopping the converter sitting flush.

If I was to do this again I think I would use the AP-01 from www.pricemotorsport.com instead of tracking down a 351 manifold.
