I am planning on putting a 351W in my 88LX, but it currently has the
2.3L EFI w/ T5. I know I will need an oil pan w/ pickup tube, headers (BBK), motor mounts, dampener, tranny (AOD), flexplate, etc. I do have a bunch of questions that I know you guys will be able to answer. I was wondering if I could put a regulator on the existing fuel system to drop the pressure where it needs to be to run it to a carbed 351W?I'm going to have a 351W w/ an AOD, do you think my current drive shaft will work. I have a 2.3L w/ T-5. Or would I have to get one from a 5.0 w/ AOD to fit mine?
When I take out the 2.3L, are there holes for the 351W to go into, or do I have to fab up some brackets to make it fit? If so, does anybody have any plans for them?
Does anyone make 351W swap drop mounts or just 302 drop mounts for this application?
Also I have 3.27's in the rear end, should I go higher (w/ AOD)? I have 3.73 and 4.11 available.
Well that's all I have for, I appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks a lot
