Is it possible to transplant a 351 Cleveland into a EA Falcon, or would a 302 Windsor be the better choice.

Don't quote me, but I'm relatively sure that I've heard people claiming that the 351C is too wide & the heads foul the strut-towers.

Note that while I'm only about 75% on the truth of this, I'm hoping that if I'm wrong then the speaking of bullshit will draw "those in the know" out of the woodwork. :) I am relatively sure that I've read something about it in the past though, and that a 351W is an easier proposition (they sold EFI 351W's in F-series trucks for a while, didn't they?).

the 302w would be the easiest as you cold use a crossmember and other parts from the EB.
street machine did a few stories on this exact swap about 2 years ago.
