It's been done plenty of times. The pros are obviously more hp and torque. Cons are all based on $$. You're going to need everything from new motor mounts to a better suspension. I wish I could remember everything else you'll need but I cant...it's a pretty long, pricey list.

same engine mounts, no joke.

Before we play this game, what type of 351 are we talking about?
