I'm in the middle of my '89 5.0 to 351w built 408 swap. So i've been gathering a crud load of info. Here's a basic shopping list i put together to use and attached a few links. (I don't wanna infringe on copyright laws) Keep in mind this is my 351w (non roller) to non-a/c 408 stroker (hydr roller/carb setup/no ac)!!!
I re-did everything. You will not have too. So if its already in you engine your probably safe and dont need to change it. Keep in mind you will have a diff setup then mine (carb or efi, roller or non, ac or non). Use at your own discression. If things are missing feel free to post. Enjoy
