82 GT · 03-16-2001, 04:45 PM

I put a 351W into my '82GT. Once you have the correct oil pan it drops right in. I put MAC shorty headers on mine. If you get shorties MAKE SURE THEY ARE FOR A 351 because 302 headers will fit the engine but won't clear the steering shaft. I found out the hard way. I didn't use different engine mounts either unless they changed them later on. I don't know what swaps with the 302 because I tore the 302 out and installed a rebuilt 351W
