Default 300 efi to 351 carb cleveland swap

Been a minute since ive done anything to my truck, got the lift and all on it and got satisfied... recently got in a car/truck club and i gotta have the thunder... Alright so I'm starting a thread on my journey to make this **** happen, I'm picking up a 351 cleveland this weekend and with some research on how to wire the ignition and the use of a fuel regulator I'm going to swap my 300 I6 for the 351 Cleveland. Any tips? Any words of wisdom? I'm going to get info from other threads and such and attach them as I go... thanks guys
Yes that is my ford towing that chevy

you have allot of work ahead of you! good luck. not sure if you know or not but the Cleveland has a different bell houseing bolt pattern than the Windsor small block / straight 6. so you will also need a new transmission.

Do you have emissions in your area? Good choice of motors! My dad used to have a pantera with a 351 Cleveland it put ya back in the seat pretty hard.

Idk about all that man, I know the 351M has a big block bell housing but the Cleveland shouldnt require it....

Worse case, it's an entire bronco I'm picking up so I'm not too worried, it already has an automatic tranny in it... but I want manual... so I need to figure out what can bolt up to it if mine cant...
