I just picked up a 351w "F4TE" engine from a '94 truck with 80K on it. I am wanting to put it in my '88 mustang but cant seem to find the right information Im looking for. I have looked at several diffrent sites.
First, will the double sump 351 stock oil pan work? I keep reading about a new one is needed with a rear sump, but it all seems to pertain to older non-roller blocks that have front sump oil pans.
Second, do I still need to change the distributor gear? It is an EFI motor already so if I understood correctly, I dont need to.
Third, do I need the "351 swap" power steering bracket or was that just for earlier 351 motors (non-F4TE)?
For now, I plan to keep it a 351, but a year or so down the line, I will build a 408 stroker (the right way). I am also keeping it EFI and am swapping over all my 302 go fast parts, like trickflow heads, intake (i know I need a diffrent lower for 351), cam and so forth.
