In over my head 351w

<p><p>I'm putting a 93 351w in my truck, and figured I would beef it up a little before dropping it in. I'm not clueless and I know its gonna take alot of time and money. I'm just wondering how reasonable it is to put a new cam, heads, and intake manifold on it? I mean will they fit like the old ones or will I have to change other things? For the camshaft I planned on getting a crane 444232, but as for the heads and intake manifold I have no clue what my best option is. I'm open to any and all suggestions</p></p>

They should all just replace. If the engine has sludge build-up, it may take some effort to pull the old cam out. Then the hardest thing may be to clean off the old gaskets from the manifold and heads. Otherwise, these are drop-ins. As for the best choice of arts for a truck, others can provide much better advice.

What are you putting the motor in ? That's the question needs to be answered here. If it's in a 93 truck, then no, you can't just put in any combination of parts and expect the computer to be happy with the parts you chose.
