351 swap
#3
Yeah but depending on the 351 you wont be able to hook up ac and other things i tried with a 1979 351w in my 95 and the acessorys couldnt bolt up so i pulled the 351w back out and im stuck with the engine and tranny and you can keep it efi everything else bolts up except the accessorys but clearance wasnt a problem for me with the stock hood

If the 351w was installed in a 94-95 you use 94-95 brackets. They bolt right up. 79-93 Mustangs, if you use the stock front accessories you have to by a swap bracket from FRPP. 94-95 brackets bolt to the cylinder head, thats why there is no issue when swapping them.

Yeah but how do you bolt up the accessorys from a v belt to 6 rib thats the problem i ran into unless you can change all pulleys but i couldnt find all the stuff to do it also for the computer do you have to switch the comp or with the 5.0 computer run fine with the 351 w in it(is programming required)?

Programming the stock ecu shouldn't be required... but I would recommend it...
I cleared the stock hood in my 90GT with Energy Suspension motor mounts, and trimming my upper intake about .700". I used a Lightning lower and comp cams box upper intake.
There was still a very slight run on the insulation mat from the breather tube that comes off the top of the TB.
