351 into 65 f250
Ok guys I've posted in this question in the past, but am hopefully going to get serious after the first of the year about swapping engines.
I have a re-bulit 351 w and C-6 sitting in the garage ready to install.
352 coming out. What do I need to consider regarding mounting crossmembers header etc....is there anyone who has made this swap that could weigh in and give some advice?
Painting is complete getting excited to get some of drive train work done after the first of the year!
thanks

Brian, You will need to get engine perches for a 302 (same as 351, but no 351s were installed in this series truck) probably new radiator, and after installed a different driveshaft.
I see the Mustang HO shorty headers on Ebay going for $30-50.00. I don't recommend headers, but I have found that the cast iron manifolds crack very badly.
Good luck
John
