I want to know how much hassle and extra parts I am going to need to swap in a 78 351W N/A with a C4 into a 89 coupe that used to have a 4cyl.
I am going to look at one this weekend (low price) and I was wondering if it would be worth it. I also have an old 8" rear with 410 gears from a 77.

Any takers on this?

I have seen complete swap kits to put a 351 in a fox. I think it includes different headers , oil pan ect... I can't remeber who had them though seems like it was summit or jegs. Whish I could help more.

This IS part of my research,I try to find someone who has done it before,and learn from their mistakes and triumphs.
Since I am at work right now, and going to look tomorrow or sunday, it leaves little time for a LOT of research.

But thanks for pointing it out to me.

The amount of hassle depends on what sort of setup you want to run. I got an almost stock 351W in with barely any hassle, with a set of 302 headers, the swap pan/pcikup tube (off a 79 LTD), and convertible motor and tranny mounts. Since I have an FMX, even the 4cyl shifter linkage worked.
