Putting in a 351w into my 95. What do I need to swap over in regards to the brackets harness and clutch and flywheel. Cause it's my understanding raft you need frpp brackets for the power steering and ac and then you need the frpp harmonic balancer spacer. Ready go with any input.

Thanks for any and all tips.

I just did a 351 swap into my 95, the stock accessory bolted right up, even my vortech brackets bolted right up, just needed longer belts, the only problem I had is installing the A/C, the A/C compressor would serious hit the battery tray and the A/C lines had to be bent and stretched a little more and number 8 spark plug wire is really close to the brake booster, also I had to add about 1.75-2.00" to each end to the factory fuels.

But both your 302 accessory brackets bolted up no problem?

Go figure. There's a lot of posts that say they won't and you have to get the frpp swap brackets. And what was your choice of headers?

My brackets are all the original brackets from my 95 Cobra 5.0 #371, but my headers are the Factory Ford from my 95 Cobra R #75

I sold all my 351 Brackets from my Cobra R with the car, here is the pic of my R, when I first got it and it had a Kenne Bell on it and all the brackets were way different and had no A/C mounts,

Good info, thanks for the input lee. Pretty stoked to do my 351 swap for sure. How's it sound in comparison to the 302?

Be careful bending the lines to fit, I cracked one of my lines at a joint, it's really a tight fit.

Where'd you crack your line at?
