Sn95 351 swap

[police4.6]

the guy i was getting that fox from is being a bit sketchy but i found a good bodied sn95 and i still want to do the carb 351. i have read that the motor is a straight bolt up. but.... this is where i get confused, i know i need a different oil pan so it will clear, and transmission, if i wanted to do a t5 what all would i need to get/do in order to get this sucker in there?

You'll either need some custom headers or I believe accufab makes headers that will fit, they are very pricey though. I looked into going Windsor a while back but decided to stay with a 302 block. You'll also either need motor mounts to adapt or a k member that will fit. I also think a T5 might be a bad choice, I'd want to go with something like a TKO 600 or T56

Hey Dan, the 351w take the same motor mounts as a fox and just get a fox style oil pan. the headers are th worst part, i think bbk makes 1.3/4 headers for a 351w in a sn95. Now if the car is a 96-98 you will need a 94-95 k-member to put that motor in it. The bell housings of a 94-95 car are different than fox nells because the tranny tunnel is smaller so ford relocated the fork lower on the bell.

so tim what would be best to do with the transmission problem.

Ah I see, I must have been reading a thread about lowering the motor for clearance issues with a hood or something then.

i would try to get a world class t-5, or a tremec tko600.

tr3550 is also a good choice that wont break the budget
