Ok,

This isnt anything im planning on doing anytime soon,'
But if I ever am planning on doing it I wanna know a few things,

Say I "obtain" a 351w Out of a late 80's early 90's Truck or Bronco,

firstly,

Take all the crap off,
Could it fit Right in on its original motor mounts?
As in, Would it be the same as a 5.0 motor?

Also will all my acc's bolt onto it?
AC/PS/etc etc
And of course all my items such as Heads, Intake, Exhaust Headers,

Could I (this makes it easier) Buy a 351w Short block and add my current heads and other stuff,

Thanks

i thought head bost sizes were different, but theres an easy fix to that, it would kinda useless to use a stock 302 head on a 351 anyhow, but not vice versa

The head bolts need drilled out, otherwise they'll flow just as good as any 351W head. Flow numbers are flow numbers so the block has little to do with how well the head works.
