NEED HELP ASAP !351W to 351C Swap

IeatZ28 · 11-01-2001, 08:38 PM

Has anyone ever installed a 351C-4V into a 1969 Mach 1? I know the original should be a 351W, but I cannot find a 351W (early model) in good condition. I have a 351C on a stand ready for a rebuild. I need to know what needs to be done to the mounts, electrical, etc. in order to install this engine properly.

Thanks
Chris

the manifolds are different and the brackets for the accessories -everything else is the same motormounts, bellhousing, flywheel, carburetor - it is all the same the swap is a good one - but if you really want a 351 w write me I have 7 of them in various states of rebuild starting at $1195.

for a good Windsor to build, look for a 94 or newer light truck block - they are factory roller blocks (though they may or may not have roller lifters from the factory). Then you'll have the serpentine drive system if you'd want to use it, all the right brackets, etc. besides having a block you can use any roller cam made for the factory roller engines.
