351 swap

Hey guys, I have a 1995 f150 with a tired MAF 302 and I recently picked up an almost complete 351W from a 92 f150 that needs to be rebuilt. What all will I need to do to successfully complete this swap? I have the 4r70w behind mine and I believe the transmission behind the 92 was an E4OD, so I know the flexplate will need to be changed out but I'm unsure of which one to get that would work with my transmission. Any advice will be greatly appreciated Thanks!!

You need a flexplate for a mid '80s Crown Vic with the 351/AOD combo. Other than that the motor will bolt in there just fine, connect it to all the original wiring in your truck, do not use any wiring that came with the donor motor.

Thanks! I've seen your helping out the others with their swaps so I figured you'd hop over here eventually and share some wisdom haha. I'll be sure to ditch the 351 harness when the time comes.
