Hey did you relocate the high current fuse panel and everything on the red 95? Engine bay looks nice and cleaned up and just looking to get some pointers because I am about to do the same thing. I'm building a 400 and want to pull the 302 and paint the engine bayCheck out my website in my sig for pics.
It seemed like a very easy swap to me. You will need a different intake, 351 swap headers, a 351 distributor, a different oil pan, and a different belt. Everything else should bolt up. The timing cover, water pump, and front accessories can all be re-used. Oh yeah, 351's use 1/2" head studs, so you may need to open up the holes in your heads to accept 1/2" studs. The AFR 225's, and I think the 205's, do not require drilling to fit 1/2" studs.
If you can afford the Kooks headers, get them!! They are individual tubes which make them very easy to install. www.kookscustomheaders.com
I also recommend a high-tourqe starter before you put everything back together. I got the Powermaster XS series one from summit. It's not specifically for our cars, but it works.
hey guys I'm about to do a 400 c.i. and going to run 1 3/4 LT's. My car is lowered so I don't need to lower the motor via mounts any more than it is and have LT's scrape the ground or other things. I have a Cervini's ram air hood that's between 2-3 1/2 inches of raise. I'll be using the Performer rpm 2 intake which is 11.67 inches and the Box R is 12.5 I believe.Saleen didn't drop there K-member... they used modified 83 Vert Mounts and set the engine back and inch and the mounts dropped the engine about 3/4 of an inch.
I know homieThis post is 11 years old champ.
You do know they make that intake for a 5.8 now right lol?Something about 302 parts... and 302 power.
Why not get a real intake.
Woww. Well why don't the threads just be deleted....These posts make me sad. There is no point in desecrating a dead thread.
I don't have a participation trophy to hand out but this should work:
This thread hasn't given me cancer, but rather an existential crisis. I wonder when, at some point in the distant future, someone will come and take a **** on a thread that I created and poured my thoughts and advice into. Will it end like this for all we've posted?
But there sure are some smart ass jokers on forums , period. They surely swear ONLY THEIR opinion count.........SMH
Yeah, I can be one of those sometimes, we probably all can. I was just giving you (both) a hard time and having a little fun. It's a very old thread, and I didn't understand the disagreement. I understand your point, a few ponies isn't worth not being able to close the hood to you, and drop-mounts have some drawbacks too. And addermk2 is correct as well, there are probably better manifolds, but that brings with it height. We dish out a lot of advice, sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask just what someone wants to do before dishing.
