95 5.0 351 swap

[All_Ford_Fun]

ok , so I'm back at it again! My 95 gt bit the bullet on my after just having built a new aode for it....
So now that I'm ticked off ( which i have no reason to be really , got the car dirt cheep ) I'm back to wanting to do a swap
Its mainly goin to be a track / weekend car as hopefully I'm gettin a 94 laser red gt (some how it too is scare bone stock)
So here's where I'm at , I've got 2 351 blocks , one a 1993 (lighting motor fully dressed) , one a 1969: which of these should i use....?
also had ordered a AJE k member and A arms for the 331 i was building ( short block has been sold , still have afr 185 heads )
AJE makes there K member so you can swap mounts for a 351 so that help a bit , also wanting to run a C4 tranny so any help there would be nice
Also got in storage a 74mm mas air , 75? mm tb , new flue pump ( not sure how big any more , need to dig it out ) and 46 er 40 lbs injectors
So to any one who has done this , what all am i missing?
Before it gets said , I know i had a descent 331 started but the 351 in a stang is like a hot girl and bikini's , they just go together.... cant help that lol

I prefer them nekkid myself.

As far as the car goes, either block will work, personally i would do the lightning block. Only thing is, that lightning block is a flat motor, not a roller. You CAN convert it to a roller.

Why on earth would you want to swap to a C4. Keep that AODE.

while on the topic...whats the best smog legal head that can be ported to support the 351?

I have seen on many occasions that the Lightning are a roller block. They just used a flat tappet camshaft

Here is a link i found real quick

Yea that would be fun. What trans are you guys running/plain to run? Sence this will be a weekend driver i decided to go with a c4 i allready had. Btw suspect that matte black is killer , really gives the car a sinister look

 

[castine917]

are you doing a high rev 302 and a 351 swap at same time? different cars?

 

[All_Ford_Fun]

Yes , ive had the 95 for a little bit and recently acquired a 94 just like my 95. Neather is really worth much tho. Both Need help in the motor department lol.
I'm Also looking to get a 96-98 for a dd , just love the sound of good exhaust on a solid mod motor , that and for some reason i always end up with red vhecials with an auto. So I don't care if my next SN95 is pastel purple so long as its a stick also! I'm burnt out on red....
