351 streetbeast - 12-08-03, 11:10 AM

got some questions for yall. i read up on the S351 and thought it was aa abda#$ car. is it possible to shoehorn somehting like this into a 99-up mustang? http://www.automotix.com/engines_by...351WHOLB-1.html

if so, how would one go about setting it up with EFI. is the setup used by Saleen a custom manufacture for their use? or are there kits for this? then, i bet a twin turbo setup would just be sick on somehting like that.

bummer. it was a 351 crate engine. it was 1800 for the long block. am i write in this, that the 5.0 heads fit, but that the head bolt holes just would need to be drilled out to the 351 size of 7/16"? then go superchargeed, i think that would be a mean street car. obvi usly the S-351 is.

You can do the conversion. You have to change the K-member, wire harness, tranny, cooling system,and modify the fuel system just to install the windsor. It is really cheaper to just buy a used S351 than to do the conversion unless you have the parts to do the swap lying around. You could buy a wrecked 94-5 GT and you would get alot of the parts needed.

i love the saleen look. how much would a s351 set me back. at the top of the summer i will be in a position to buy. i really want the displacement of the s351, and as said before, the style is incredible. thanks.

They have been a few 94-5 sold on ebay for the mid 20's. The 96 up will be a little more expensive. You can contact Mark at Performance Autosport. He usually has a few for sale or on consignment.
