351W Swap Difficulties
I am currently doing a 302 to 351W swap on my 92 F150. I got the replacement 351and in process of building it up and have come across some setbacks or something.
I refer to this repair manual for anything and I think that the problem that I have is with the Emission Control System. The book talks about a Thermactor thing.
The problem i have is that when i got the engine from a junkyard, the ones who pulled it must have cut it right it half cause its cut and dont really know how it is supposed to look or be positioned properly.
Maybe i could get a few pics of how it should be done and maybe the proper name for what i am talking about.
I am inserting a few pics of what i have and maybe it will help( I circled around the item at hand)

The end of the steel tube sticking out the bottom normally goes to the cat. But if you don't have a cat or emissions to pass remove the whole works of that and plug the holes in the back of the heads with 5/8x1" coarse thread bolts.

You have to replace or add to the metal portion of the tubing so it reaches the cat.

Ok. Well that good. Now is there some diagram that I could look at to figure It out.
Maybe there are pictures of a finished block that I can look from.

diagram for what? that tube runs to your cat converter period. the rest of what you have circled there is looking correct.
