how hard to swap a 351

**J-rod** · 09-25-2006, 01:11 PM

well im currently looking at a 95 5.0. it has 203k on it but its one owner, 100% stock and no accidents.

i was wondering how hard to make it a 351? i know the deck and heads need milled right? what about motor mounts and tranny compatability?

still have enough rom to add a blower later on?

im only gonna consider getting it if the 351 swap isnt too hard (read too much customization and fab work)

Shouldn't be too hard. The 95 Cobra r had a 351W in it.

If I were to build another push rod motor car it would deff be a 351 base motor. No sence in going smaller, the parts cost about the same for either.

MMFF had a "budget stroker kit" and it ran in the 700-800 range....i figure i could get a 351 short block done for about that.

A windsor is pretty much the same as a 5.0 except for 1 inch of deck height, and no you dont have to mill or shave anything, all you need is a pan and headers, i have a new moroso pan i accidentally ordered for a customer i will give you a deal on...
