Default turn my 3.8 to a 351 windsor?

does anyone know what i would have to do for that swap?...what i would need for parts....and difficulty level ???

any help would be good because i can get a REALLY good deal on an older 351 that would make a good rebuild...just wondering if it would be a good engine to put into my v6 mustang.....its carbed and so on...holley carb on it right now...its a 72ish year engine

i know i would have to do suspension work....get a new transmission...motor mounts...new hood....need a 8.8inch rear end....

any help would be amazing since i am doing all the work myself and with a buddy of mine over the winter....so the sooner the information comes..the better !

thanks ahead of time

i have decided to stay v6 ... i just love it to much haha

but i have a quick question....if i got a really good deal on a 95 v6 with 5spd tranny would that be a good way to go about it ?....do the split port swap on the engine before dropping it in my car....a few other upgrades and such....the engine has less then 200k on it (km not miles as it is canadian) .... im gonna be doin alota rebuilding on it...make it a quick little v6...or should i just say screw that and buy a 99+ ????

i would love some input

thanks ahead of time

I would by a 4.2L out of a 2001+ F150 if I were to buy another engine to drop into my car.

Will a 4.2L bolt right up in a 95 V6 mustang? Like the wire harness an stuff?

No. If you want something that is more of a direct fit, look for an older 4.2, I believe the 97 is a direct swap into your car.
