Hey what's up guys, I just totaled my 93 lightning and am looking to throw the 5.8 351w from it into a 87 5.0 foxbody. I have done a little research so far and have figured out that I am going to need a different oil pan, headers and a cowl hood. I was just wondering if you guys could give me any tips on how I can make this swap go as smooth as possible.

Onething that keeps crossing my mind is, Will the 87 5.0 computer work with the windsor 351 motor???

any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

its a fairly straigh forward swap just do all your research and make sure your not looking for fitment items as your trying to drop the motor in

I am currently getting ready to do the swap too, just do some research and get familiar with everything you need to do, there is plenty of information out there
