$5800 and you now have two cars(heck sell the one you have and you're rolling for almost nothing!)...rather than one you've pieced together.....I can never understand all this engine swapping stuff when there is always someone ditching the exact same thing for 1/3 the price...

once again many people get the satisfaction & enjoyment of building a car exactly the way they want it....

i am sure you have heard this before .....

anyone can buy a car

not everybody can build one.....

I sure the person who started this would appreciate input on topic not an ebay update

please respect the subject matter....

The 302 alternator bracket can be utilized on the 351w, along with the reverse rotation water pump along with the air conditioning and power steering brackets. The crank pulley requires a 3/8" spacer available from FRPP between it and the balancer for proper pulley alignment.
After going through everything and reading all this information I have decided that.. Not to talk anyone down but. The only people to post this 351w info havent really done the swap. I bought everything they said on the internet and ended up shipping stuff back and had everyone at ford racing laughing at me when I told them the ideas. Like the spacer. There isn't a way to make it fit on a stock balancer. The spacer is only used for the FRPP balancer not for a stock balancer. Also to run it without a/c you actually need the a/c elimantor, the power steering 351w swap bracket, and a power steering pump bracket off of a late 85-93 mustang. Just to run power steering it cost me about 200 extra dollars. Just to run all the serpentine starting out with nothing it probubly cost me about 500 bucks for all the bracket's, alternator(3g), and pulleys! I would like to talk to someone that started out with no 5.0 to take brackets off of and tell me what I am doing wrong.

I started out with a 86 v6 throttle body. I still need the duraspark, fuel regulator, and wiring to go! I have to guess on all that! Ya ya AGH ****

Why not start a new thread with your specific issues and questions.....

i know for sure there many others doing a 351 install instead of swapping from a 5.0 car....

that way you will recieved better response to questions....
