It is that easy. There are a few things that need to be changed (hood, oil pan, headers, lower manifold). But if you are stroking your motor than you have to pull everything anyway! They make a conversion kit with everything that you need for like $500 bucks. If your pulling your motor a 351W is the ONLY way to go IMO.

RE: Why is everyone afraid to go 351w?
it is ironic that this thread just came up, b/c i was just debating if i should build a 351w i know it will cost more but it seems more along the lines of what i want. does anyone have a place i can go to read up on these swap so i can research it more
