: I've decided to go ahead and do the V8 swap, but I'm wondering how
: much more difficult it is to go with the 351 instead of the 302,
: and what additional steps are involved. Have those that have tried it
: been happy with the out come? Thanks for the advice.
Just got through with a trial fit using a 351 block and bare C4 trans. With Edelbrock heads bolted on the block, there was no way the Hedman headers would fit without exstensive shock tower mods. Personnaly, I am going to stick with the 302 instead of hacking up the towers. I know that the 351 swap has been done but for the time and work involved, a well built 302 or stroked one, is my choice.
