351W swap motor mounts, swap headers, different tranny(possibly, not too sure, i changed my trans out all together from the 4 popper.), new hood most likely. ummm i forget everything that i had to do when i did my swap from the 4cyl to the 351.

good luck with it, man!

If its a straight 6 motor, you will need a new K-member for the swap. 4cyl, V-6 and v-8 k-members all work, but the I-6 K-member is different and will have to be changed.
