The 302 oil pan will not fit the 351w, so the oil pan for the 351w must be used and modified to clear the rack and pinoin steering.
so what do u have to do get a 351w pan and take it to a shop and have a modified to fit cuz of the steering rack,
what motor mounts?Swapping in a 351w isn't all that hard, if you use the factory exhaust manifolds. The two different headers available for the swap involve some work. I think (not 100% sure) that the Hedman's require the motor to be repositioned by using a plate. Another brand requires a battery relocation and some modification to the fender wells.
Also, depending on the intake/carb setup you go with, cutting the hood for clearance may be needed. If you go with a low rise intake, you can manage it without cutting.
Other than that, it's a drop in and go. No changes needed to fit the radiator, shroud, starter, etc. I did buy a bracket to adapt the 302 power steering bracket to the 351, but only because I wanted something that looked better than the hacked piece that was in there.
Good luck.
