Typically, yes. When I need stuff, I tell them a 1971 Mustang with a 
351C and 90% of the time, it fits. Or, try a 1970 Torino. Should be 
the same as long as you make sure they understand it's a C.

No problem... I do it all the time. I have permanent ZF rib grooves 
in my kneecaps. ;-)

Just watch out that you don't step/hit the backup lights switch on 
the shift box. The little wire connections will break off pretty 
easy. Ask me how I know...

Hope that helps.
