Engine Swap
I have a friend who wants to do an engine swap on his 5.0. Will his stock transmission from an 86' fit without modification a 351W engine?

he might need to get a newer model bellhousing, idk if there are any aftermarket 10" flywheels that have a 28oz imbalance
you do know that he'll need a new balancer and flywheel for the 351w right?

so long as he has a 28 ounce imbalance, the housing will fit, right?
