Has anyone ever done a swap to a 351W from a 302 on a fox body? I was thinking of buying a complete block off of a buddy of mine. Pistons and stuff are included but i dont know if the heads, intake, etc. will fit. Does anyone know for sure, or better yet has anyone ever done this?? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I can get the motor for 100 bucks!! Gimme good news! LOL

i odnt think the heads will fit and i know the intake wont fit the block is taller and wider so the lower wont fit on a 351. you wouldnt want to use them anyway that is like puting a m4 banget intake on our 302's but still if it is a strong forged block i would get it (even if it isnt ;-)

The heads will fit, the head bolt holes need to be drilled out. The intake will not fit. The 351 is wider and taller at the top.

Do a search on here. There is damn near a parts list available in these pages.

yes, this is a very COMMON swap (*cough* search *cough* )

If you're wanting to use 302 pistons, a 393 uses 302 pistons
