Default Re: 351w Swap In A 68

The 302 would be a little easier and cheaper then a 351 swap. The roller 302 has a bunch more speed parts available for it. The efi swap would be a great addition, BUT, you'll need the wiring harnesses, ECU, sensors, etc from a donar car to complete the swap. You'll also have to add a high pressure fuel pump to supply the injectors. Don't think I'm raining on your parade if you want the efi. It is just that a carb instead of efi would be much easier and cheaper.

It you want the extra power the 351 is the way to go. It would be a little more $$$ then a straight 302 [carb. to carb] swap, but not as expensive as a efi swap. I personally like the idea of having 49 extra cubic inches with the 351 swap. You'd have to stroke the 302 to 347 to get the equivalent. Plus, everything else would bolt practically bolt in.

Tough call on your behalf....depends on you now.

Happy New Year !!!!
