Default 351 swap

can you drop in a 351 and still use the fuel injection?
I know the lower intakes are different than a 302 due to the deck height.
will the same headers and injectors, and sensors and stuff still work properly?

you will need a wider lower IM. All of the sensors will work the same. Those #24's will work with a 351. You'll need different headers.

You'll also need an oil pan & pickup tube, & accessory bracket
There is a chance that you will need a cowl hood, but there is also a chance you won't need one.
