Default Thinking about a 351w swap from my 302

I am currently looking at buying a 351w that's carbureted from my uncle for my 92 GT that i have. My question is can i swap over the fuel injection and intake from my 302 onto the 351? Any answers would be great and ways that would make it work.

Thanks,

Tyler

You need a 351 specific lower (the block is slightly higher and wider) but I'm pretty sure you can use all the other stuff. Not sure what type of upper intake you are running currently, if it's a GT40 or Cobra intake, you can pick up a lightening lower and it will work.

You would need a 351/5.8 specific injected intake, its wider than the 302. But beyond that go for it, pretty much everything would hook up the same, might need some specific headers though. I imagine you could pick up a stock 5.8 intake pretty reasonable

Thanks guys i think i'm going to get it. I now it will be worth it in the long run. I am running the Cobra intake so i will look into the lightning lower.

you will need 351 swap headers. pretty easily available and common. you will most likely need a cowl hood as well.

Is there a difference between a 351W and a 5.8L (i.e. Ford Lightning)? I'm looking at a 92 LX that has a carburated 351W. If I get the Mustang I would much rather have it Fuel Injected. If the lower from a 351 works with a GT-40 or Cobra upper, what computer do you use? Would you use one out of a Mustang GT 5.0L? Out of a Lightning or something?

Thanks.
