i have a 5.0 and 3" bd. its not that much different than doing it without a bd, just a few little things. like with a bd it prolly wont fit under the hood, unless you have a big cowl. and you just have to "realign" the tranny tunnel with a big hammer where it flares out to the firewall, cuz the 5.0 bell housing is way bigger. what i did was just lowered the engine/tranny in and where it hit i just cut the tranny tunnel out. then you can position the engine and stuff where you want it, make your motor mounts, and everything else, then just make a new piece of tranny tunnel that clears the bell housing. its alot of trial and error to get everything right when you havent done it before. it took me about a week of 6 hour days to get it in and get all the mounts and everything built. im very mechanically inclined and a welder/fabricator by trade, so it wasnt that hard for me. just ask alot of questions on here and at a local parts store. hope that helped.

I have a 351 winsor in mine put an electronic distributor & ignition box in it. I got mine out of an older ford f-150. You just have to run a good sized key on hot to the ignition box and from there it will power up ur hole engine bay, Dizzy, blaster coil i used a chevy 140 amp 1 wire alternator and ran aftermarket oil pressure, water temp, and volts gauges, But retoothed the stock from speedocable to compinsate for my truck...
