Ok guy's i got me a D4AE 351 complete the other night. Now comes the swap in my 93ssp coupe. Ok so lets start! Here is my question's will my 93 5.0 clutch flywheel harmonic balancer work? can i take the 5.0 oil pan off and put it on the 351? can i use my trick flow push rods out of my 5.0? will my 5.0 fox body motor mounts work? I have a tublar kmember in my 93 so will my mac L/T's work? i dynoed 301/328 at the wheels with my 5.0, is 400+ a reasonable number to get from a H/C/I 351 at the wheels? I will use my GT40P heads off my 302 along with a trick flow intake for a 351 i know the 302 wont work, so what cam do i want for it? I want ATLEAST 400 at the wheels but i also want it to sound bad assss. I do know alot of the 302 parts will work for the 351 but the ones here aere what i'm questioning. peace

Flywheel and balancer?
No,
302 is 50oz, 351w is 28oz... not interchangeable.

Oil pan?
No,
The 351w pan is wider than the 302...

Motor Mounts?
Yes,
they will work

I have a tublar kmember in my 93 so wcan i use my trick flow push rods out of my 5.0?
Click to expand...
this makes no sense...
did you mix 2 questions together?

302 pushrods won't work....


Mac LT's?
No,
the width of the 351w will push the header collectors into the floor/tunnel.

I will use my GT40P heads
Click to expand...
These heads will seriously restrict the power of the 351w, but it will work...
You will need to drill the head holes to 1/2" for the larger 351w head bolts...

so what cam do i want for it?
Click to expand...
I won't pretend to know enough to recommend a cam...


I have more stuff on my site...
