If you are going to swap in a 351 anyway, might as well get a 4cyl. Just make sure to change out the rear end. The stocker wont hang very long with 400RW

Ya... probly rip it to pieces. Do you think a 8.8 out of a truck would bolt up?

And How big of carb should i get for 400 hp, I think 650 might be a lil small?

the 8.8 out of a truck would be to wide

You need an 8.8 out of a mustang to bolt up. A 650 carb is more than sufficient as long as its tuned properly

Have fun with swapping a 351 in a 4 cylinder car, keep in mind the brakes arnt sufficient enough for a 4 cylinder, the suspension is way soft, and youll have a lot of other odds and ends to change.

I was thinking of leaving the breaks, I am gonna gut it all out, So it should be lighter? And will a c 6 from a truck work? Every one says go with the C4, but i can get a good c6 for free.. Or is the c6 in cars diffrent from the ones in the trucks? What about the shifting linkages? I wana keep a factory shifter in it, If i get a 4 banger mustang with a auto, Is it possible with the c6?

Maybe i should use a 302? Would it be easyer? Is the 351w the same block as the 302?

351 can handle 600hp, with 400rwhp you'll be well into the 12's, but pay attention to your suspension that makes a huge difference! C4 is the way togo for the tranny
