This swap is pretty easy. You need Kmember, return style fuel system,tranny, driveshaft, exhaustand just remove the engine harness. You will need to keep the computer and the chasie harness inthe car. Carbed is the easiest way to go. I don't know where you got that engine info from but for $8k I could build to engines just like that. You can get a 351w out of any junkyard for $150 and have it cleaned, bored and honed for around $100. The stroker kit is less than $1000 the GT-40 heads can be bought at auto zone for $300. You can find the money for a pushrod ford intake in the cusions of your couch.
