Once you've bought then engine, the headers, the oil pan, the motor mounts, the belt, the balancer, the flywheel, etc. etc. you could have a modded 302 that makes far more power than a stock 351. Plus you'll have the added benefit of fuel injection and decent mileage.Having done it - I would say that swapping a 351 in isn't worth it unless you're going for BIG cubic inches and have a relatively expensive combo. Otherwise, a 302 or 302-based stroker is the more reasonable alternative.WUZa50h - my motor has OEM 94-95 bracketry. I change to a fox TB setup because I couldn't get a big enough TB for a SN95. (that's a 90mm) The thermostat housing is nothing more than a chunk of aluminum with a -20AN bung welded on it.The big cube motor do have a nice torque advantage though. My previous (very mild) 418 made 442 ft. lbs. at <3000 rpms.Paul.</blockquote>
