Default RE: 5.8 conversion

a 351 and a 302 are pretty much the same motor, the deck hight on the 351 is just taller, so you can stroke the motor more. a 351 is a great motor it is the 302's big brother. I have never done the 5.8 swap but i am looking at doing it in the next few years. from what i read it does not take a whole lot. Now if you are planning on running a s/c or a turbo than a 351 is a great place to start, you can leave the motor a 351 and get more power than if you ran a 347, and it will be twice as reliable.
