idk where you were looking... but being that you have an SN95... you could have bolted all your accessories right onto the front of the 351 and not had to modify anything.

all you needed was the fox 5.8l conversion oil pan, and conversion headers

So all brackets and accessories on my 95 302 will bolt to a 351W with no issues ? Minus the pan and headers.

yup.

unlike the foxes, our accessories bolt ONLY to the heads... not the water pump

Darn it and I just bought a 94 cobra motor to rebuild and I could have went ahead and picked up a 351. Thanks for the info I might see about selling what I have and going for the 351. Appreciate the 411 again
