351W conversion
Here is somethings I have run across in my attempt to put in a 351W in my mustang. Of course you need the basics, oil pan, distributor, and headers. But in addition, in my case, I also needed a pulley spacer, about 3/4" to 1" for my balancer pulley and accompaning bolts necessary to install. The snout on my aftermarket SFI balancer is shorter than the snout on the factory 302 balancer. Also needed a 351W bracket for power steering and A/C. Got this from summitracing.com part number FMS-M8511B351 for $49.88. And a longer hose for the thermostat bypass hose.
