Yea a 347 would have been nice but my 351w was just so damn cheap. A stock swap from a 302 to a 351w dropped me 2.1 seconds in the QT for around a grand. Cant get any better then that.

RE: Some things to consider with your 351 swap
i have a 95 gt w a 302 but this summer i was planning a 351 swap and was wonderin a few things. could i use my stock eec and add a piggyback programer? where would i find a oil pan that will work? and will my stock t5 tranny hold up against the extra power/torque? its not goin to be a real hot motor bc its still a daily driver, itll still be efi w a healthy cam, gt40 heads and headers. who has headers for this swap? I love the previous 347vs351 info and im lookin forward to any info you can help me with.

RE: Some things to consider with your 351 swap
I have a 1982 Mercury Capri RS that i am currently in the act of restoring for summer. it currently has 302 that is in excellant shape( i have taken it apart myself and everything is clean, also i have another 82' 302 out of a GT my dad used to own.) but i wanted to swap in a and 82' or 83' 351W that was in an older pickup with only about 40000 miles on it. And i was just wondering besides a new oil pan what i need to do get it in there. Im only a junior in high school so money is tight but my dad has every tool imaginable and a ton of parts from numerous ford mustangs and such. i also was wondering what heads, intake, cam,and headers would be good for this setup. It will be driven daily but will see time at Route 66 raceway on weekends. Any help would be extremely helpful so i can do it right.
Also, may be able to have access to a supercharger. And i was just wondering i would have to do to get that on there.

hey i know this is a mustang website but sum1 mite be able to help me (hopefully)!!!!! i have an 85 full size bronco w a windsor and for sum reason every time i connect the "brain box" the voltage on the battery drops drastically and continues to fall at ab a tenth a volt per second. i checked the voltage regulator and i got a new box for it. the readout was ab 11.54 volts (it ran dead and never got fully recharged) but when i hookup the box it drops to ab 4 volts and continues to fall?!!! i dont know whats goin on, i thought a relay mounted by the brake booster was stickin but even w it unhooked it still falls. any1 please let me know if you know sumthin. thanks for bearin w me on this non mustang related ( but ford windsor ) question.
