Post 351w replacement

I have a 1996 F150 with a 351windsor. It has 150,000 miles and a very bad rear main leak.
I am looking for a direct replacement that will bolt directly in and work with the stock computer.
Any ideas?

Why not just have the rear main seal replaced? It'll be a lot cheaper than replacing the whole motor. I've had quite a few of the 351W's and all of them went well over 200,000 miles.

Default Thanks for the imput

But after further inspection we decided to replace. Less headaches and cheaper in the long run.

Keep the old 351 if you swap it(good american relic lol).....just remeber...fords are notorious for rear main seal leaks...if it is that bad replace it if not just keep an eye on it
