I was told by an importer that it has to be (IIRC) 12 years or
older to import.

The new Shelbys (GT500 and Shelby GT) would be two of many to beat a
14.1 & 0-60 in 5.8.

And you are full of it. I personally took a 351M out of a '77 Granada to
convert it into a 400.

And why the hell are you digging up months old posts to comment on? That is
very much frowned upon on Usenet.

It looks recent in Thunderbird.

The "M" wont fit in an unmodified(shock towers too close) Maverick nee
Falcon based Granada. A 351W is an awful tight fit in it's own right.
The narrower(than 351M) 351C wouldn't even fit without a torch & a
sledgehammer.
