Default new swap idea

ok i had a idea to swap to the coyote 5.0.... horrible idea, i went to badass and they can build a 351 for me and get me a 5spd trans for 7500 roughly, the 351 having 440 no dressing, but thats complete turn key. i think it sounds awesome but i guess my question is how much of a problem is there with getting it to fit?

from my past with ford swaps. i found out that ford makes about 4 different kinds of engine mounts for the 351 to bolt in. i had a 66 mustang with the 351 cleveland big block in it, we had to cut out everything and reweld everything. i put in a rock crusher 4 speed tranny with the z-bolt inline shift pattern. it was my track car in the 80's. it had a hugh cam and a holly four barrel carb. i could pull the front end 3 ft off the ground with slicks, and 114 race fuel. the only thing i had problems with was the stock dront end wasn't wide enough to put in that big of a v8. so i swapped in a rack and pinion steering out of a pinto. and the car drove like it should. i say go for it. those older engines make good power,
I had to do alot of customizing to my 66 to stuff the engine in it, but you probably will not have to with the new cars. good luck on the swap.
