My 68 vert has an old 302 hat still runs cool/fine with ceramic tri-y's, some 1/2" drop engine mounts (expensive at the time) and a TKO 500. I may have a good deal on this 351. What will I need to do to swap this in:
5.8L/351W - 360-HP GT-40 Aluminum Head Ford Racing Performance Crate Engine Assembly
Part Number: M-6007-C351R
It has "reverse rotation" whats that?(can I use the stock style water pump?),
a dual sump oil pan, a side oil stick hole, and a different timing cover.
So those things need to be changed, but what about the TKO 500? Will it bolt up to that?
Will the tri-Y's fit the 351?
Will my rebuilt posi 8" rear be OK if I'm gentle? Anything else I've forgotten?
I don't know what I'm getting myself into...
