351 swap in a sn95, to expensive or not to bad

[MustangLife]

I thought about a 351 swap in my 03 gt. I of course wouldn't do the work myself. How much of a hassle would the swap be. Lets say for parts and labor, not counting the full engine. Of course would like the factory guages to work. a/c would not be a problem i would just delete it. Saleen put these in sn95 mustangs, so i figure the parts are there. I'm just looking for a round about estimate.

I thought about this based on the expensive amount of money it cost to build up a modular n/a car and only get 300-320 rwhp.

You would have to buy everything......

New K-member
Computer, wiring harness, exhaust, probably new gauges, transmission (unless someone makes an adaptor), motor, possibly fans.

I'd say, get a supercharger, or buy a car that came with a windsor.

I believe the setup is the same as a sn95, you will need a set of swap headers (Hookers), a 351w swap oil pan, and shorty headers that will clear the steering column. I think I paid about $800 for all the swap parts, from summit racing, but thats for a 95.

As you said, that's for a 95. Swapping a pushrod motor into a modular car is an entirely different ballgame.
