351w swap
I have an 85 bronco with the 300 6, 4spd. manual with granny low. I want to swap in a 351w 4b. It has to be carbed, because I like the thought of keeping it computer-free. Can you tell me what I need to do to pull this swap off? Any tips and tricks? Do I need a new bellhousing, flywheel, radiator, anything else? LAst thing, does anybody have an engine? Thank you for your help with this. jeff

u might need to get a bigger radiator unless u got a good cooling package the bell housing are the same for 300 302 and 351w might need to use or get a new flywheel depend on how they are balanced clutch will be fine and that shoud be it but for the motor mount i think u haft to swap them out too

U need mounts, engine perches, new radiator, the flywheel can be rebalanced (mine was) to match the 351. U also need throttle linkage and,of course, new exhaust.
Also will need a neck brace for the unexpected power you will have w/a 351 over the I6. If you would like a 4 bbl 5.8 factory intake, let me know.
