Help I6 to 351 Conversion

I want to put a 351 into my 96 f150 i6.
I have a lightning injector harness and computer.

Is there anything else that may cuase a problem? I want to use my manual rather than the E40D. Do you know of any other issue with this wswap?

If I replace the computer and Injector harness the only code I should get is the Tranny code, although I have access to an E40d. Don't know if the relay box inside the engine compartment will have to be changed.... Help

You'll need engine mounts, accessory brackets, bigger radiator, ect.

Don't forget to account for new brackets for the A/C, pwr steering, or anything else that hangs off the front of the engine.

Also, you will have to change your throttle linkage. If you have cruise control, your cruise vacuum cannister will have to move and the linkage adjusted accordingly. Make sure your oil pan is a rear sump or double sump type pan.
