see my friend has 351s layin around in his garage and hes talkn about thrown one in his mustang and so wat ur sayn is, its not worth it?

you will lose your fuel injection and have to go to a carbed setup [sm=smiley21.gif], or get the computer and wiring harness from a 94-95 stang, and get intake manifold made for fuel injection. then, im sure the motor is old and worn out, so it will have to be rebuilt. its not worth it.

RE: 351 swap

the motor has been rebuilt infact its been punched out to a 408 i use it as a motor for the fairlane. In washington state i have never had to go through emissions. so if what obso says it should be a straight forward swap. Am i in the right ball park on this one.
