ok, just to let everyone know, if u didnt already. i am swappin a 2.3l 4cyl engine out of my mustang and puttin in a 351W. we go tthe engine in yesterday and i am startin to try and figure out the wiring/vacuum lines/fuel system/accessories lol. so....

what vacuum lines will i need to use, if any of them? or does it depend on what i have done with the engine?

the wiring i think i am startin to understand it better now that i have gotten the engine in to see what i will need and what i will not need.

and te accessories, i am not puttin A/C back in my car so i got the frpp a/c eliminator kit and i have no idea how to put that one lol, and an alternator bracket, which i am havin the same problem with. anyone know how they r supposed to be? oh yeah and will i need a new mount for my power steering since the old one was for a 4cyl? it looks different in my moms 5.0, but i'm not sure if it will work or not.

anywho, we think we have the fuel figured out, we got the regulator for it, we're gettin the hose tomorrow i think to start fixin that and gettin it to the engine.

so, thanks for any help u can give me
