well as some of you know I have recently purchased RFR2212's 91 sport project. Seeing as how I'm looking at going overseas for the next tour, it'll be going into storage for a bit. I've gone over it, and it's pretty solid, with typical rocker panel rust. Future plans include gears, lockers, and a driveline swap from a full sized 4x4. One question, I really wanna do a 351, instead of the 302, if pulling the complete driveline from a wrecked truck, would it be that hard to pull off, or am I better off going 302? Streetability is not much of a factor as it is gonna mainly be a weekend toy.

:chug: :chug:
 






so nobody has any info on the 351 swap?:( oh well, make it up as I go:D

:chug: :chug:
 






not worth it, IMHO. i have never seen one, but i can tell you there would be virtually no room. you also may have to run a body lift/hood scoop to clear the intake, especially if its the truck upper. i have gone over my X and my 351 bronc with a tape measure, and i think it would be WAY too much work to be feasable.
 






bummer:( it's already got a 3 inch body lift, I don't mind the additional labor, but the additional cash:rolleyes: 302's a good motor too.

:chug: :chug:
