Saves a bunch of money 351w swap also needs new motor mounts, headers, as well as everything the others mentioned.351w also weighs 200 lbs more than a 5.0L (right over the front wheels ) where your stang needs it the least!
Just my 2 cents worth.

A buddy of mine's building a 408 too.
Good Luck with your project.

RE: thinking about a 351w? what do you think?
ill keep you in mind, my semester is still going here, and i cant do anything till im out for summer [:@]otherwise the rents will KILL me....Aparently parents do not like it when you order a bunch of parts off the internet and have them show up at the door without telling them 
even when you have the money for the stuff....
What year block, what are the specks on the parts, why are you selling it, is it assembled, is there any machine work done?

RE: thinking about a 351w? what do you think?
The block will have to be machined. but I can get it done here for and additional $300. I am sure you can find it cheaper in the states, Everyhting is cheaper there. But the kit is a probe industries PS kit. I am selling it due to the crazy $1.25/L gas prices. I didn't even get to build this engine. The pistons are used but have less that 2000 KM of use on them. The Crank is brand new 4" stroke. And the rods are like new with ARP bolts. The block is an 89 block. it does need to be bored .030". I got a price of $300 to hot tank, bore, line hone, new cam bearings, new freeze plugs, paint and deck it all. Forged lightweight I-Beams and forged pistons.
