Hullo, I'm contemplating of slotting a 351 cleveland from a Fairlane 500 into my 68 coupe but wondering:1. Would it fit with the original cast iron headers.2. Could I use the original 289 engine mounting brackets. (They however look different).3. Once installed can I swap the 2 barrel with my 4 barrel (would the hood close?).4. How difficult would it be to change spark plugs?Thanks in advance.Jeffery

No.No.No, it won't close.Hahahahahah.
