you should be doing the suspension anyway, cuz thats what gets the power to the ground.

tranny will bolt right up to it though. how long it lasts depends on how u drive.

What is the best way to beef up a suspension for the 302 to 351 conversion? Is there ways to beef up the T-5 as well? I know that those can get busted pretty fast with the Windsor

U/L control arms in the rear, definitely subframe connectors(preferably full length, body contouring, not straight)
might look into stronger axles & diff down the line, too.
