yes, but you need a lot of other supporting mods.

I have a 1992 ford van with a 351, its in good running shape, would that big trans behind that 351 fit into my mustang?

What engine did your car start with? and what trans is in the Van. Also the 351 in a Mustang has been done a 1000s of times. You need to do some more searching.

Fairly simple, most parts will interchange, your intake will be different and the distributor, and i`m sure the van isnt roller so your distibutor will need the brass or bronze gear not the steel gear for a roller cam!

Your headers will be different also! it is most likely a c-6 trans and yeah it will fit like a c-4! may have to modify the crossmember for it!

basically intake headers distributor and you`ll be set! oh and prolly a different size serpentine belt! and the van prolly has a mech fuel pump so make a block off plate for the timing cover! you may need a 351 double sump pan kit from summit also! like 150$ for pan pickup and dipstick!

1992 with a 3spd auto?...

its probably an E4OD trans, and there's NO WAY itll fit into the Mustangs trans tunnel... its a tight fit in the trucks and vans...
