Hi guys,I need a little info on a 351w swap into a 78' Mustang that i'm helping a friend with.I've seen that it will fit,but i have a few questions about a few of the details.1}The motor is out of a '83 1/2 ton and has a rearsump oilpan.Will it fit in the stang,or will i have to get a front sump and pickup?2}How much lift will this engine tolerate from a performance cam.I've noticed that these heads have the pedestal style non-adjustable rockers.Is more cam going to be a problem?3}We're looking for alittle more performance on a tight budget,we're just freshening the motor abit with a few performance pieces,4 barrel intake,maybe alittle pocket porting,cam-lifters along with a new oilpump,timing set,gaskets,etc.These pistons have quite a dish in them and my buddy can't afford anything different,will this motor have any compression?I'm hoping the heads kind of make up for it as they seem to have kind of small valves and chambers.As you can tell,i'm far from a Ford expert,Any advice would be greatly appreciated.I'd love to hear from somebody that has done this swap.

well I am not usually a cross-forums type of guy, but since there have been no answers here. There have several recent discussions on this topic on the MII forums at Here [This message has been edited by 77sleeper (edited 11-29-2003).]

many yrs ago i did this swap, and was the most satisfying for the amount of work. I used a normal ft sump pan . My only problem was that i had a tall intake ,so had to open the hood and install a must /torino scoop.
