I have a 1985 E-150 with a great body and a tired 300 six. Would like to put in a 351 V8. What other parts are needed besides the new engine?

exhaust manifolds, ALL acessory brackets.. 351 flywheel. 351 van engine stands.
If you have the AOD trans make sure you get the transmission tv rod off of a 351 truck/van engine, and use the aod carburator.

You can also use a Lokar cable for the AOD tranny if you're using a different carb.

Don't forget the distributor, won't be any good without that ;-)
