Ben


no clue at all really and i need the help please!!

 

Dude if you don't even know where to START,, then you're gonna have to have a garage do the swap,, for mega $$$'s

I can't imagine "talking you thru an engine swap" on a web forum

Have you pulled the old motor out already? That's the EASY part

 

NO buying the Crate motors the easy part you dont break sweat!!!!!!

 

Im gonna have the engine pulled in acouple days.

ill be able to put the motor in and everything ill have the other engine and put it in. its no problem. i have the motor mounts im just wondering waht im gonna have to replace.

lol just a list? maybe haha idk im sure i can get it started :-)

thanks for your guys replies and i woudl greatly appreicate the help

 

Your going to need a new engine wiring harness, new CPU (unless your giong with a distributor), a new K member, new rear end, new fuel supply set up, bigger breaks (much bigger breaks!). new shocks/struts....thats just a few things that are going to cost you a bit....someone else can help me out with pther misc things you need.

its a carborated engine. so he said im not gonna need a cpu

 

^^That is true, you wont need a CPU.

im confused about the exhaust system.. do i get it for the mustang or for the headers of the 351?

 

If you are asking this question you do not need to be doing a engine swap. Have someone help you.

 

I'll sum the list up, you need EVERYTHING! mounts, exhaust, fuel, cooling, suspension, a rear that will hold up, maybe even a hood. I hate re-wiring engine swaps >.<
