351W questions


So I found 2 351W engines for VERY cheap. One is from a '80's van and the other was unlisted. Will the 351W fit in a '85 mustang, no matter what the 351 is pulled out of? (i.e. van, truck, etc...)

Will it also bolt up to my 5-speed transmission, and will the cam from the 302 work in the 351? (im thinking no but had to ask)

already know the flywheel will work, heads will work. Think i might do this route rather than rebuild the 302

i believe the engines use the same engine mounts so it should fit right in, there might be some clearance issues, like with the hood for example

You will need swap headers and oil pan. Also check to make sure you have the correct balance flywheel for the 351W.

the 351w is a bit wider i believe and mine just barely fits in like maybe you can fit 3 penny's in between the headers and the engine bay. but you should be fine.

460s drop right in too. You will need engine swap headers, oil pan and engine mounts. You will need a strong transmissioin too.
