:not an easy swap but can be done. Hooker also makes some headers that will probably fit it along withRacer Walsh,904-721-2289. Any engine swap can be a real test. Anybody tell you any different and they're BSing you. and anything can be made to fit in anything. Dyno Don put a Boss 429 in a Maverick.
Just all depends on how bad you want to do it. What is the end use and how much money do you have/want to spend should be what helps you to make a decission on a swap.
If you have a tall stack of green, my opinion, go with the special SVO 351 Aluminum block at 113lbs, (SVO weight numbers Charlie),with aluminum Yates heads. Beefed up AOD, with 9" rearend 4.56 gears, using a aluminum center piece. Change to rack & pinion front tubar frontend. Now that would be a screamer.
Who makes a good header for this swap (4 barrel heads) and what oil pan and motor mounts do I use.
: Thanks for any information.
