heres a pretty good article from right here on the site:http://www.mustangworks.com/articles...n/351swap.html

i used my 5.0 fluidamper so i didn't need the 351w damper and spacer. You need a oil pan, intake manifold and distributor, and headers to do the swap. maybe a couple of other parts...

Well, i advanced the cam 4 degrees after shutting the dyno run down early(at 7200rpm). I'm hoping that will lower my max hp rpm to 7500 (or lower). I'm really hoping to see 500 rwhp, but that's optimistic. I WILL see 450 rwhp unless something breaks(God forbid). I don't know that torque will increase much if any going from a 1 5/8 to 1 3/4 header, but it is possible. Im probably a month from the chassis dyno. That torque number is wrong: my best torque was 465 @ 5600 fyi
