few question about 351w swap
ok i been lookng into doing a 351w swap into my 90 fox. so far i seen that i can use top stuff off the 302 for the 351w like heads intakes. im not going to do the swap to this coming winter. but i would like to start buying stuff little at a time.
i need to know what block should i look for. i want to stay with a roller block. and also want to stay with a efi stuff. i was thinking about getting the trickflow track heat intake and matching heads or afr 185's. not sure on what cam to look into yet. the power goal im lookng for is around 400rwhp. from what i read shouldn't be to hard to get out of a 351w swap. i know i will need a oil pan swap kit and headers. i have a cowl hood so i can use the 5.0 motor mounts right? im hoping to beable to do this for around 4500 bucks. im still researching this trying to get a list going to know what to start buying. so any info would be nice. thnaks alot.

Can't use the 302 lower intake on the 351 it's too narrow.
Will need a 351W dizzy also. Motor mounts are the same.

you will need new headers and if you are going with power steering and a/c you will need the outer metal bracket for the 351w. you will also need a double hump oil pan for 351w and a 28oz flywheel and harmonic balancer. the 5.0 is 50oz.

You can get the oil pan from either an 80's model Crown Vic PI, or an E series van with the 351W. Try to find a '94 and up truck/van block if you want to go with a roller cam block. The one to look for is the F4TE casting, which will be by the starter mount.

also if you use the convertible mounts it will set the engine lower in the engine compartment but you may not need them with the cowl hood.
