Someone had to go there. I'm working right now on my 91b2600i, doing a 351w w/ a c6 automatic 3 speed. Any sudgestions or helpful hints? I will be sure to take lots of pics while were doing this. Just got the motor out of the donor vehicle, and plan to start the swap soon.

when i did mine i found it relativley easy, as long as your a little bit mechanicly inclined and know what to look for. i did learn alot of things the hard way tho while doing it. like building bracets that take all day to make to find out you actually dont need them or its not right. i also bought alot of shit that i found out was wrong. i picked up my 91 5.0 H.O EFI put of a stang for only $500 canadian. then i modded it alot. like changing the efi to carb and did internal work. i think the funnest thing i encounterd while doing mine was trying to explain to the perts store whast i need parts for. haha. cuz they always ask what car/engine its for. so i had to say "well its a mazda b2200 with a 91 mustang 302 that is converted to carburated not efi" and they would sorta look at me like wtf for a second till i explained more about it. anyways good luck on the 351 convo. if you have any questions dont hesitate to email me and ask, or post here. heres a pic of my conversion:







the pics arnt the best but i can take better ones of the motor mounts (i made mine) or whatever will help you doin yours.

that thing is sick. whats with the bumper, what u doin to it? where can i get a block atleast? maybe even a running motor? any chance of online?

i just called a towing yard and they had a rear ended mustang 5L and i got the motor for 500 canadian. complete. then i sunk another $1500 in it for parts and shit to make it look and perform decently.

im either going to go to a rotary motor or do a complete tear down and chrome out my current motor!

i will be lookin for a 5.0 when money comes through but i dont necessarily need it to perform huge. the stock one with cam headers and exhaust would be sweet prolly.



how much are northstar motors?
