Hey, my 94gt has a bad head gasket, so ive decided to buy a 351w roller shortblock from ebay, heres the block, let me know what you think about it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...9591&rd=1&rd=1

So here are my questions for you, i contacted the seller, and heres what he said i will need to do the swap.

351 oil pan
new intake for a 351
28oz damper and flywheel
spacer for the damper for proper aligment on the crank for pullies
headers
bracket for the power steering pump and a/c compressor.
Hood with a higher cowling

Let me know if im missing anything else need!

My first question is, can i use the headers and oil pan for a 93 fox body, im guessing i would have to do some minor customizing?

For the intake, i was looking at the edelbrock performer, but can i bolt any upper onto it, like a trickflow or my stock 5.0 one?

How high of a hood will I need?

Where do i get a 28oz damper and flywheel, spacer for the damper for proper aligment on the crank for pullies, and the bracket for the power steering pump and a/c compressor.

Ok so hopefully you guys can help me answer those, now, id like to put a bbk cold air intake on, with a 75mm throttle body, and 75mm intake upper ( pending if u can bolt on any upper to the 351 intake. So will that work out with the 351?

Id also like to do 24lb injectors, or should i do something else? If i get 24lb injectors i need a tuned mass airflow sensor then right?

Ok, i hope you guys can help, and let me know what you think about the shortblock on ebay, id like to hear a few thoughts before i buy it.

Thanks

its so much simpler to just stroke it to 331 or 347

Yeah I understand that and did look into it, but after researching both the 351 has my interest.

really? i mean think about it. a decent stroker kit, $1100... the machine work needed for the stroker kit i would say $600 or so...so, fore that $1700 or so(maybe more) he could have a 351w roller short block with the optinal forged pistons and everything he needs to do the swap.. new motor mounts, swap headers, new oil pans, and new acc braket. then put on a explorer intake and gt-40 heads and a nice cam and he will see 350hp+to the wheels and probably around 400ft/lbs or so to the wheels... and still have a killer base for the future if he wants better heads and intake snf a 408 stroker.

plus, if the head gasket was bad enough and he got alot of antifreeze in the motor then say goodbye to his connecting rod bearings and main bearings, maybe even his cam bearings.

Thanks, and that was a fair part of the reason for going for the 351, the cost,and yes we did has some antifreeze get in. =( The gt-40 heads, what year can i get them off of? Also the intake i was looking at the edelbrock performer for the 351, but can i bolt and intake upper to that, like one for a 5.0?

Also do u know where i can get these

28oz damper and flywheel
spacer for the damper for proper aligment on the crank for pullies
bracket for the power steering pump and a/c compressor.

1. the gt-40 heads canbe gotten off of any 5.0 mustang cobra or i want to say.. 96 1/2 and older explorer/moutainears.. maybe 97 1/2 and older but i am not posative.

2. are you going carb or injected?

3. i have no idea where you would get it. theres a member on here named r.barn, he just finished the swap and i am sure he would be able to help you find those things or atleast let you know exactly what you will need.

Redrider69

Ok i think i found the 28oz dampner, is this is?
