i have a 95 f150 automatic with a 5.0 and i was wondering how hard it would be and what i needed, to swap in a 351 windsor from a Lightning? if somebody could give some good advice i would be thankful.

 

engine with all accessories and the ecm....thats it...

 

Yup just what he said...motor, brackets on the front of the engine, and the computer. Everything else matches up.

 

thanks

 

how much different are the engines? like you u just put lightning heads on a regular enging?

 

compression ratio and camshaft is different and the ECM has a different setup...

 

so could you swap lightning stuff onto a regular 351? what would that entail? heads, ecm, intake, how about the cam?

 

You could swap the L stuff over to the regular 351W but it'll run you a pretty penny. The ease of swapping a 351L engine into a factory equipped 5.0 depends on the intake setup as well. You said 95, is it a speed density system or a mass air system?

 

difference between lightning engine and 302 is about 50-75 hp

 

Actually a factory 351W is rated at 225 while the 351 W L engine is rated at 240HP......so the difference is not THAT big....
