I have a 77' mustang II Ghia with a 302. I recently came across a 351w, how easy/hard would the swap be. any modifications, things i need to buy?

Basically just new headers. But some of the 302 headers fit the 351W. The tranny will mount up to the 351W. The deck height is a little taller and it is about 1 inche wider than your 302. We went with one with a rear sump oil pan to avoid the clearance problems with the rack and pinion. It was simple and easy.

As stated above,not a hard swap.Fairly basic.

See if can get your hands on a 351W from a 88 Mustang. It already has EFI.

alright. thanks.
now can a cobra II rear spoiler ( 3 peice) be set up to work on a coupe?

[nigel]

I have seen a few with them. The contour of the decks are almost the same.

what are some fairly cheap things to give my 302 a little more zip.

I would go to the salvage yard and pick me up a 302 roller or 351 roller. You can get a for under $100's. Get a mild solid roller cam and solid roller lifters. Get a set of heads from a 93-95 cobra for about $45 a piece or a set a GT 40 heads. They are pretty much the same thing. A set a 1.5 or 1.6 roller rocker for about $100. You options is really up to you.

A W is a pretty tight fit in a II.

It's pretty easy if sledgehammering frame parts and such for clearance is OK with you.

I've done the swap without a sledge, it was a PITA.

I thought I read somewhere that the brake booster was an issue, as far as clearance goes. Could be wrong though...

Did it with mine,no clearance except oil pan on rack,air cleaner, even used orig. exhaust manifolds......Cleveland would be better but exhaust?.......
