I'd like to bring this thread back up to the top. I am doing this swap as we speak and feel this thread is full of people that know what they are doing with this swap. So if there are any new updates lets hear them!
First Pokageek thanks for making this awsome thread. Alot of information can be found as far as what you need for the swap but you never find a thread with information that will help you with a known problem you might and most of the time will run into.
Its always the little things that hold you up.
The major issue I am wondering about it the sway bar hitting the oil pan. I'm not sure if mine will or not. I have the sway bar from my 99 Cobra on my 95 plus I have poly motor mounts that will sit the motor higher. Hopefully this will help with sway bar clearance and header clearance. However I'm sure I will need a 1.5" cowl or maybe bigger.
I do have a question though. Oil pan...which ones will work? I know the M-6675-A58 Ford oil pan kit will work (you can also get this out of Jegs for $135) but it only holds 5 quarts. I'm not sure if this will be enough oil for a Windsor that might be reving to 6,500rpms-7,000rpms. So is there any other oil pan out there? I called Canton and they said they do not sell one that will fit a 94-95 with a 351. The man said that they DID sell one that was said to fit but after people called complaining about it not fitting they now do not say they will fit. Also I do not plan on getting a tubular K member so what are the options?
Dumb questions but where do you guys get those polished pulleys that have the bullet holes in them? Look sweet! Also I have a set of
BBK UD pulleys on the 5.0 will these swap over to the 5.8? Reason I'm asking is because I know the 5.0 has 50oz balancer and the 5.8 has a 28oz one. Does it make a difference?
