351C donor into Fox body coupe

so i went to pik and pull the other day just look around. and stumbled across this perfect 351 Clevland and i had to have it ...100$ and that thing was in my garage.

my intention is putting it in my lil 1993 v4 coupe. how simple is it? im keeping it carbed so im assuming its just drop in and go? im really looking for a clean and uncluttered look in my engine bay. ive gone ahead and bought a pair of hedman headers. also planning to use a 5.0 5 speed, and keep the rear end.

WHAT ELSE AM I MISSING??
What recommended parts to buy would you suggest?

thanks guys

the first thing u need to by a new k-member, you also need a 8.8 rear end because the 351c well rip the 7.5 rear into pieces, the stock 5.0 trans will blow also because of the engine's torque if u buy a built t5 trans it well hold up but to fit the t5 you'll need to buy a bell houseing to fit the 351,you will also need a need oil pan to fit the engine because of the fox-body k-member, you also need to change the fuel lines and remove the old fuel pump and buy a new mechanical fuel pump so the engine will get the fuel it needs to run u also need to buy a bigger hood because the 351 seats too high for the stock hood... their might be some other things you'll need to buy......

sorry for telling u the bad news but thats what you'll need to get........

Oil pan out of 1979 F-150 with 351 modified and pick up tube well work.A small hood scoop off Mustang well solve hood clearance problems.Your stock k member well work, but you have to get motor mounts.Don;t forget to get an electronic distributor anything out of 460 or 351 mod well work.

Re: 351C donor into Fox body coupe

the k member is the same between the 4cyl and the 5.0 and depending on which intake u use it may fit under stock hood also a t5 will fit but may not hold up to the power same for the rear axle

Re: 351C donor into Fox body coupe

The 4 cyl. K-member and the 5.0 k-member are the same. Use the 5.0 motor mounts and space them about 1/2" to 5/8". The cleveland engine will not clear the hood. You will need to cut a hole in the hood and install a scoop. You can modify the 351M or 400 4x4 truck oil pan or buy one from Canton or Moroso. I have modified these pans and used the canton pick-up tube but this involves fabricating a new rear sump to use this pick-up. The bellhousing patterns for the 351C and the 5.0 are the same.Hope this helps.

Re: 351C donor into Fox body coupe

I had a 84 tbird with a 351c and c6 tranny, 9" rear. the tranny kmember was cut for duel pipes, the motor mounts needed a 1 inch thick tubing, the oil pan was made for a fox body mustang, it came with the pick up and oil pump... it all fix under the hood,.. it also had a 2 inch spacer under the 750 holley carb. it was a tight fit but a great looking one, hope this helps out some...
