Replace a 400 with a 351W?

Are there kits available to make this possible? Do you even need a kit? I realize there are lots of people who hate the 400 and a lot that love it. So far mine has been reliable and I have no plans to replace it until necessary but this motor was only built for a short time and I think the day is coming when new parts will be difficult to find. I have thought about the ever popular switch to a 460 but I don't need that much engine and the 351W with a little help can be a strong engine too and my be a little easier on the wallet at the pumps.

The 351W will not bolt up where a 400 was, a 460 will. The 400 was built for quite a while, much longer than the 351C and parts are still available for them.
