351 swap in a 88 5.0 mods?

[brianbish93]

I am thinking about swapping my 351 Windsor out of my 68 mustang an into a 5.0 mustang with a blown 302, I know the 351 and 302 have the same bolt patterns for the bellhousing, I was curious if anyone knew what mods I would need, my 351 is carberated and has the fuel pump on the block. What wiring changes do I need for the 88 if I were to do the swap? Do I need different motor mounts? Will the 302 exhaust fit on my 351? I don't have a computer in the 68 that the engine is in now but the 88 does. Thanks

Don't put the 351 right in, build a nice little 408 stroker, they rip if set up right in foxes.

Also, you can use a Holley red or blue pump so that you don't have to use a mechanical fuel pump.

I already built the 351, I wana have a cruiser that I can run at the track and around the streets once in a while that won't kill me on gas haha that 408 sounds like a good idea though, I'm limited on money so I can't do that anyway. I was thinking of doing that with the fuel pump but it runs fine now so I'll just let it be until the fuel pump breaks, its a brand new holley fuel pump

What happened to the 302?

I'm not sure I'm going to buy it off this guy and he just said that it turns over and runs but sounds like sh*t

The 302 is stock and my 351 has money into it and runs perfect so I figure I'll just sell my 68 as a roller
