J4x4

Hi my name is jesse and im new to this. this is my first post/
I have a 1993 f150 4x4 with a 302 automatic and im debating on buying a motor out of a 95 with a 351 w and im just wondering what all i need to change or make sure of before i buy this motor.. i dont want to buy it then run into anything serious i should have known before hand. please help me out.
thanks. jesse

common guys, no replys... help this guy out (i need the help too). i have a 1990 150 5.0 auto 4x4 with a blown H/G, i have a complete 5.8 motor from another 150 with wiring harness and computer... is this a direct swap? i would think so, but if someone has already done it, info on any stumbling blocks would be nice to know.

Basically the only difference is firing order, exhaust manifolds, 351w is a little taller, and possibly the flex plate, other than that the motor is the same, you can use the same trans, mounts, the only other thing is the intake, and the ecu, it will be tuned for the 351, but the 302 ecu might work and configure itself for the 351, I am not sure so do a little research, or ask here, also make sure if you have a speed density truck, make sure the 351 is also speed density, if not find a speed density upper for the 351.

dirtcrew, thats what i figured, weve done alot of windsor swaps in mustangs and with the parts i have i think it will be easily took care of.

I was just going to say there isn't much of a difference in the Windsors

I think the most important thing is mass air and speed density uppers, make sure the upper goes with the truck and the ecu.
