351 swap in 95 gt!

[lilhoppin95]

Hello everybody,I am in the process of swapin out 5.0 for a 351 svo motor.I have a D-1 procharger for a 87-93 so I am swaping all the brackets timing cover and pulleys back to 87-93.I just put the front cover and water pump on the engine today(its still out of car)and boy does the fox body stuff look big.I am wondering if anyone has done this and if I will run into clearance problems with the radiator.The timing cover is thicker and the water pump is longer.All the help I can get will be great,Thanks

oh wait a minute . that's right ... mine is a 351 stroker with fox accessories.

mine fits, it is tight, but i have an aje k-member. i don't think tke k-member moved the engine back.

You might run into clearance issues with the accessory brackets since it's a tight squeeze already. I'd look into picking up the bracket for the Procharger for the 94-95 model, so you can remain fairly headache free. I'm moving this to tech also.

Are you running a D-1 12 rib pro charger?Thats whats worring me.The bottom pulley is huge.I have stock k-memn=ber but am going to run solid mounts so it drops it down a bit.What headers did you use?I am glad someone else has done this,I was stressin for a minute!

The procharger for are years runs off the serp. belt.I did not want that due to slippage problems.So Thats why I went old school.

If you are using the fox water pump cover and fox water pump with the stock 94-95 fan you will run into clearance issues. If its just the radiator without the 94-95 fan your good.

So do I have to run a fan in front of the radiator?I have a stock electric fan on there now.

Would you like to sell the gt motor and wireharness and stuff

[lilhoppin95]

I will sell you 5.0 long block for 250.00.It has about 84,000 miles on it.

 

[wheely man]

check into the viper fan assembly. i belive its a little thinner then ours but pulls a lot more CFM
