Try to follow along , I know this is above your mental capacity but ... A long block is not intake to oil pan . That is a drop out if its used or a crate motor if its new . Very rarely you can get an oil pump and pan on a long block but never an intake . Call any machine shop and ask . Now quit cluttering up this guys thead since you clearly have no idea what you are talking about .

I do believe we both are making clutter so STFU. You don't have to admit you're wrong, just STFU. As will I.

I don't know how, but I seem to have offended Stomper.

Half of what I said was joking, some of you know that. You figure out what half.

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to Stomper and anyone else I upset out there. We both stuck to our guns pretty good but I'm leaning toward his definition more now.

Let's not take things too seriously folks. Last crap post from me in here... maybe.

I too appollogize . I sometimes get too worked up over this stuff . Hard to read people on here sometimes .

Just remembered , you need a 351 distributor too . They are longer .

Default speed density 302 to MAF 351

I just finished this swap, it was time consuming
( probably approximately 30 straight hours start to finish), for me it was only on the weekends. It was definitely worth the HP and torque gains though but now I'll have to address the transmission

Default I have a 93 f150 xlt, 2wd. EFI. Is it just as simple?

Also the wiring harness, if your truck is speed density and 302 upper fits, or 351 is speed density, no problem, but if 351 is mass air, find 351 speed density manifold. Dont worry its not as complicated as it seems.
I have a 93 f150 xlt, 2wd. EFI. Is it just as simple? Can I use the same 4-speed EOD automatic transmission? Do I need a different drive shaft? Do I need to do anything to the suspension?

If you are just swapping the engine, you don't need to change out anything except what was already mentioned.


Quick Reply: 5.0 to 5.8 swap?
