351W swap

[COBRAIIW]

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?

ummm you must be blind or too lazy to do much research your self... i'm gonna go with the latter, look at the sticky in this forum, its there for a reason.

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.
