Post Considering the swap to a 351W - need advice

I am debating on finding a 351 block to start building up to drop into my Stang. Is it worth it? I plan to buy aluminum heads, new headers and intake of course, but what else will not swap over from my 5.0L engine that I will need to buy? My cam and all the other goodies I have should bolt right up right?

What all is involved in the swap as far as electronics and such and what year/vehicle should I be looking for the block from to have the best block for handling a lot of power in the future?

Also, what all machine work should I have done to the block as far as race prepping goes?

Thanks.

Too much to list. Best ET on the car so far with stock 2.73 gears - 13.73@102mph
