No. A 351w has a wider intake.

Hold on here. What's going on with your EFI that you want to go Carb? Perhaps it's something simple.

So you're running a 351w on a 300 EEC?

The computers aren't "One size fits all"...what kind of cobble job are you doing here? If you do it right the first time, you dont have to redo it...

I am just not understanding why it will run on the 300 EEC and not the 5.0 EEC. It won't have all its power on the 5.0 EEC, but it should still run. It shouldn't run on the 4.9(300) EEC.

His truck will have batch fire injection. So firing order, like 5.0 or 5.8 doesn't matter.
