Winner!

What he said and you need some new brackets because of the increased width of the 351. Unless you are going to make a drag car or a no comforts street car.

393 or 408 is a hard combo to beat. Makes it worth the trouble to put the windsor in there.

There is a lot of info on 351 and 460 swaps in this forum. Do a seach.
The onlything that I find expensive is the headers. 1 3/4 coated headers will run just under $500.

460? how much weight would you gain?

i just came across this thread and thought i had struck gold but none of the links work any more. do any of you know where the original links lead to? i'm trying to get as much info on this as possible. i printed out rougly 15 pages of info from another thread but still looking for more

do any of you know of any books or sites that have an actual swap documented with pics? i've never done this (and probably bitten off more than i can chew) so i'll be needing a ton of help/advice/input as i go along so i'll take whatever info is available.

So I know its been a while since this has been posted in, but, I have a question regarding the serp belt system, i own a bronco right now with a 351, and plan on taking it out and putting in a stang im getting. i have thought about it and decided i dont plan on having P/s and just getting a manual rack from flaming river, and could care less about A/c. my question is since i already have all of the serp belt system from the original 351, would i still have the get the adaptor stuff for the 5.0 set-up and get 5.0 stuff, or would the original 351 belt set up fit in there and not hit anything. I plan on getting a tubular k-member. and also, is it possible just to use a MSD 6al Box with the stock distributor (its a 92) or if i get a non-TFI distributor, would that work with the 6al set up and Street fire coil i have now

That looks to be the exact writeup I hashed out. In case Keith's page is ever inaccessible, I have the original here...
Fox 351w Fox Body Swap

I make revisions to the original once in a while as well...

SMOKEDYA · Aug 31, 2010

The belt will work fine you will just need a shorter one,i have a bracket to remount the alt.So no reason to use the 302 stuff.You can use a TFI dizzy you will just need to put a flat tappet cam gear on it.Then it will be plug and play for the fox harness.peace

Bomkey_noy23 · Aug 31, 2010

Well, i was gonna switch to carb intake instead of the EFI, the car originally has a 2.3 in it, and i just dont wanna deal with finding a 5.0 harness etc. So, since i wont have the ECU in the car, i was wondering if a MSD 6AL box works for ignition control purposes, since, any wiring stuff etc, i can do, if it requires a different ditributor or getting one makes it easier that not a problem, just curious, i got quite a project ahead of me, just those few questions i had.

Skid_94_3.8 · May 16, 2014

so ive got an 88 fox hatch i can pick up a 351w for 250 bucks from a buddy and i was wondering what ill have to do to my fuel system to keep the 351 carbed instead of fuel injected.

Skid_94_3.8 · May 16, 2014

are there any fuel system changes i would have to make to keep the 351 carbed instead of fuel injected?
