    It's Alive! 351W Gob's of torque!

    :D Well, I finally have the 351 running in my 78 KC. All I have to say is HOLY CRAP! This thing rocks. I have not really stomped on it yet because I have open headers and I am afraid of the sound police. :banana: (not to mention that it will not hook up with the stock tires) I am still...

    t-5 swap

    I have a Borg Warner T-5 in my 78 King Cobra. With a few mods, it fits well. I used the stock bell housing, flywheel and a new clutch. You do have to modify the crossmember to accept the longet tail shaft of the T-5 but no big deal. :banana:

    Almost Done! 351W swap Hoo Haaah!

    Well, I am almost done and have documented everything I have done. I can probably create a book from this major PIA swap.. I can honestly say that the worst part of this has been the headers.

    Man, What a pain! 351W

    Well, Another update on the 351W swap. The headers have really been holding me up. I finally got them done and it looks nice.( I wrapped them in thermotech wrap to keep the engine bay heat down) I ordered the headman 302 headers and with a little patience they work. I had to lengthen the...
