my cousin just told me about a 351 hes got sitting in a bronco he doesnt want, and wants me to take it, im swapping a 5.0 in my car but thats just way better, would i need anything special? Could i use the 5.0 engine harnes and computer? and uses everything else off the 351?

you can use the 5.0 harness and computer for the swap.

sweet, i forgot you had one... is every thing the same then? do i just pull one engine and put the other in? 5.0 bellhousing? Fuel injection vs carb? if it is carbed can i use my 5.0 intakes w/ fuel injectors?

Some old clunker windsor out of a Bronco isn't going to be any better than your 5.0.

Broncos were flat 351's anyways.

Invest in heads, intake, custom cam, headers, etc. and you can have some fun. To do it right though, your going to spend upwards of $8000 or so.

you'll need an oil pan (I use a 7qt canton) frpp makes a 5qt 351 swap pan as well . The bellhousing are the same. Intakes are different than a 302. You know mine is injected IDK...that's personal preference.

Not really that much but the windsor is a better choice I would buy a cam and heads first but good for future mods

to use it you will need a different oil pan, different distributor, new intake (302 is 8.2" deck, 351 is 9.5"), change the accessories brackets, fuel rails, stock hood won't clear most fi intakes. waste of time imo with that motor... actually to go through the mess of changing over to a 351 isn't worth it imo unless you plan on going 427 or more cubes and staying naturally aspirated.

modo - you don't need to change the accessory brackets on the 94-95 cars, you just use a REEEEAAAAALLLLY long belt. :tongue3: I think mine is 114.5" or something ridiculous like that. :grin:

I really do own a Honda Civic too!

...and an '89 notch.

...and a '94 convertible.

...and up until recently a '95 GT.

I'm trying to get down to just one Mustang though. Really. I'm trying.
