The swap gets done every day Depends what you do to the engine It's worth it if you put good parts on it and no shit parts.

id say its worth it you can get the headers, and pan for cheap on corral. It all depends if you need a motor or not. I did it in my cobra.

Coolong WILL be an issue. Run the best electric fan setup you can afford, 130 amp alternator, stock pulleys and at least a three core radiator. Although this is done nearly every day it is not done WELL every time. Many have gone this route only to find they should have gone 331. I have done this swap quite a few times and I still advise stroker over 351.

How much power are you trying to make? Stroked 351w would be best. You have plenty of choices. 383, 393, 408, 418, 427, 454, ... etc [ September 04, 2011, 10:52 PM: Message edited by: STREETFIGHTER50 ]
