There is a company that can modify your bracket to lower it
back down so it doesn't it the hood. Call Vortech, they can get you the number.
It's expensive and has like 2+ month wait too.

S-trim will not feed a 351 though
Need more like a T-trim.

It will fit.
It mounts to the head
The head on the 351W is higher than 302
Hence s/c hits hood.
You can send bracket off to move it back down.

S trim will not put out enough cfm to boost a 351W worth a damn.
You can try it, but bet you dont make shyt for boost with it and have pinging issues
due to compressor running out of efficiency and overheating the intake charge.

Everything swaps over with right brackets.

The blower is a direct bolt on for the 94-95 cars. There is no issue with it hitting the hood on the 94-95 cars. The Fox body cars do have issue because the brackets have to be modified on them to work with a 351w. It isn't a hard mod but, most people don't have the tools or the knowledge to do it. As for the 351w not being supported by a S-trim that isn't so. You will need a power pipe. Otherwise you get the pinging issue due to heat. I'm putting 640 rwhp through my 351w (stock bore and stroke) at only 14 lbs of boost in my 96 S-351. Its all in the combo and how efficently everything works together. I could upgrade to a T-trim and make more power but, I would have to make significant changes to my fuel system ie..probably 96lbs injectors. Currently I run 72lbs.
