Default 351 windsor

How hard is it to install a 351 windsor in a fox body??? Does it require a different tranny or any other modification?

Different brackets, headers, lower manifold, oil pan, distributer, etc. There are a few tech articles on this. You should be able to use stock trannies but stock trannies arent made to hold up to much so if you build a nice 351W dont expect an auto or 5spd to hold up too long on it.

Yea, and than motor mounts, etc. the cost to build the windsor, the cost of all aftermarket parts for the swap, prob a new hood to fit it all under, etc.

well the stock motor mounts are perfectly fine for a 351, then hood may or may not work probably not so bank on a cowl hood, and thats it.
