I say that you should go for it. Don't worry about the cost or the problems you run into. lol

I love to see Mustangs with 351's in them for some reason. I think it is sexy and they sound pretty good too.

alot of troubles and cost

beefed up 7.5 rear or built 8.8

bigger radiator,different K-member,ECU and harness and cluster for the 351 and if carbd different trans (auto) C4 built.

PATS key reprogram if EFI 351 is used. complete suspension front and back.

if your gonna spend the money on a V8 swap why not go FE bigblock and be Unique. not many FE bigblocks out there in an SN 95 or fox for that matter. Power with an FE is easy too. 360 truck engine with 428 rotating assembly and 410 merc pistons gives a 410 inch mercury marauder engine with torque to reverse the earth's rotation.

windsor or 5.0 block is so overdone and boring. FE bigblock for an old school swap or a 5.4L DOHC Lincoln Navigator engine if you want modern EFI.

351/302 is a weak 350 chebby style crap setup

I've seen it at the track, and I was very unimpressed. It was pretty lame.
