If a 4.6 will bolt up nice and friendly in a fox, and a 351w has the same bottom end pretty much as the 302.
Why would this be a problem to plop a 351w in a 96+?

But what about the saying?

There's no replacement for displacement.

that saying doenst mean crap anymore. turbo owns. but thats not the point. the fairlane motor most likely is old and worn out. the kid doesnt want his stang to burn oil going down the road and fail his emissions test.
