1995 6 cyl stang, 351 swap questions

[Bakerboy4679]

Alrighty. I might just end up with a 6 cylinder mustang, 5 speed. It's my brother-n-law's(Mac_24_seven).. Anyway:

I dont have a complete parts list of the engine(Up later), but I know it's a '69-71 style block. I was just wondering besides motor mounts, what all do I need to buy?
tranny?, what kind, t-5, 45.. idk..
new driveshaft?
Rearend?
suspension? (planning on it anyway..)
Oil pan? front or rear mount..
*I'm sure theres much much more than that into it, but I'd just like to get an idea of what i'm goign to be getting in to when I try to do the swap..*

I'd like to know as much as I can about doing it before I attempt it, even though I'd have an Excellent mechanic, enphasis on Excellent.. so I doubt I'd need much help or tips on acutally installing it, I just need to knwo what parts are right for it.

PM's and Emails are greatly appreciated, as they are viewed much faster than here..

I'm not trying to go all out.. just a mild car.. somethin to spin the tires from time to time.. tahts all.. :kinson:

I still have a lot to go over before I start buying things.. first things first... I need the car.. lol

I know that this will be much more complicated than putting a 302 or something in it. A bigger engine means more of a headache. I'm aware of that.
I'll keep you guys posted.. and try to tone it down a little bit on the prices...........

You'll also need a 351 intake and at least a 2.5 inch cowl hood.

[Bakerboy4679]

Yes I accounted for teh Hood at least. The Intake however.....

[GThatch]

351 dizzy, and matched gear. whole harness, computer, headers custom exhuast, custom drive shaft, maybe.

[Bakerboy4679]

Alright, well, my viewpoint has changed a little bit.
1. It looks like I might not get the car, the mustang at least.- lots of reasons, not going into any detail.. just didnt care fo rit all that much.

2. And I doubt I'd be putting a 351 into it. If anything, it would have a 302 in it. much easier... just motor mounts, carb, few other things.. etc..

I was just thinking about a 351 thats all.. Thanks for the thoughts.
