Well i wanna make a Street/Strip car. And i found a complete 5.8 "351" for about 570 bucks . But it doesnt come with the computer and some other thing's. But i was wondering if the computer for the 5.0 will match up or what exactly i will have to/ need to get and if it will be worth it!? please help me out! will the headers from the 5.0 fit on the 351? things like that please help me alot!

i think, THINK, that the computer will work with a 351. However the headers will not fit and unless you have a short intake and lower motor mounts you will need a raised cowl hood.
