Default can I swap a 4 cyl. for a 351?

has anyone ever successfully replaced a 4 cylinder engine with a 351 and made it work? Is it possible to do this on a 4 cyl. '86 ?

Like said above it can be done but will cost more because you will need more parts like wiring harness, motor mounts, and what have you. There are many 351 swap sites. Do a search under google and see what you come up with.

its not really any different than swapping a 5.0 in there, you just need a different pan and headers, mounts too
