I'm not sure but I think the computer was the biggest issue for most doing 4v swaps

exhaust is different, air intake is different, coolant system is different, wire harness's are different and more.

Why not just build a 351 or another SOHC motor? Given the DOHC makes a lot of power and takes well to mods but I know a mechanic that despises DOHC's... He hates working on them.
