If you have never rebuilt a gasoline engine, I would suggest you get the book How to Rebuild your small block ford. I think that is the correct name for it. This would tell you how to rebuild that 351 you have, assuming that it is a 351 Windsor you're talking about. On another note, yes you can put power steering and air conditioning on these motors. You would need to figure from the start if you are going to use a serpentine belt or use v-belts. You can find most everything you would need on ebay and the classifieds section in some of these mustang sites. Don't forget about the alternator.

Cool, thanks for replying...i did actually order that same book from amazon and it is very good. Do you know if anyone has got any detailed rebuilds with decent pics on the forum?

Also would be grateful if someone could give me precise information on what mods i should do it to obtain substantial power increase for £1.5k (approx $2.7k)..

thank you
