427W fox body swap help!

So heres what i got, 351W stroker, T5 in an 81 f100 carbd and an 89 5.0 5speed. I want to combine them. I need to know what problems ill run in to. I plan on staying carburated, T5, i have msd 6al and distributor, electric fuel pump, i have already read an article in 5.0 about the sway and parts involved. I need to know if anyone has a 351W in a fox and the pain involved and costs. Thanks for the help.

Jason

pretty simple really just make sure you get the right headers because your old 302(if you had headers already) headers will now hit the bottom of the floor. Otherwise it is no different than a 302 install

Hedman has the part number on their home page. They make a nice set specifically for this
