yes it will fit.

do a search for 351w swap and you will find alot of information on it. also if you look for pokageek's pain thread that particular one has a good bit of information.

In short, it will fit.

I think the 351 is about 3-4 inches taller than the 302...

So you either need a cowl hood, or drop engine mounts.

That's it in a nutshell, searching will yield more results.

Yep, it'll work. Ford even offered a 95 Mustang with a 351.
The 95 Cobra R had a 351 from the factory, as did the Saleen S351.

How well a 351 fits in an SN-95 (or fox for that matter) depends on the combination of parts added onto the 351 shortblock.

Heads, Intake, Headers maybe a poweradder... etc.

For instance, TFS Highport heads will make off the shelf header selection a nightmare on an sn-95 if you choose to keep the sn-95 bellhousing.

Do some searches, it will SAVE you cash by learning from others trial and errors.

sorry i dont mean to highjack but why do the highport heads have header clearance issues? i was looking at those instead of the AFR 185s. do the afrs have the same issue?

thanks,

chad

The TFS High Ports make header selection nearly impossible because it's hard enough finding headers for them with a 302, let alone 351 swap headers for them. AFR heads would use any standard SBF header for the Mustang.
