I'm not going to say anything bad since I own a Ford but you are asking
for a lot of work!
Is the 351 complete? What kind of induction? Carb or EFI?
If you run EFI you'll need ALL the engine electronic from Ford. Harness,
sensors, computer, everything.
What kind of transmission are you going to use?
I hope you have fabrication skills or resources.
I can't begin to tell you how much trouble this will be. I would ADVISE
against it.

Subject: DML: I got a BIG question!
Hey guys (and gals) I have a big problem and I really
need your help. I have a 380 hp 351 windsor engine sitting in my garage
that I have been working on for three years now. It is finally ready to
hit the road, but the only vehicle I would consider worthy of this power
is my 1996 Dakota sport. The question(s) is this, are there motor
mounts available for this kind of swap? Will the old computer work at
all after the swap? Is there an aftermarket computer that will go with
the 351? Please help!
