swapping out a 5.0 for an older 5.8 in my truck
 
can i bolt the fuel injection components from a 351W to an older carbed 351W? I have an '89 F150, and want to swap out the motor. I have a 351, but it's older, like an 82 or so. How bad of a swap is it in the 89? going from 5.0 to 5.8?

Also, anyone ever deal with PAW? Are they crap, or decent enough for a daily driver?

Yes it will be no problem:)

Can I reuse my accessories from the 5.0? (power steering, alternator, a/c) Also, will all the electrical stuff from the 5.0 plug into the 5.8?

Dude I not positive, but I think most of the 5.0 stuff will work.

I think you need some different brackets when using a 351W, due to it's taller deck height. At least you do on a Mustang, I dunno about on a truck.
