Will a older 351 Drop down into my 1997 F150 4x4?
OK i have a 1997 F150 4x4 with the 4.6. I was thinking about it and decided to junk the 4.6 and just go old school and drop a built 351 into the truck and not have to worry about EFI, just if i should drop a 650 or 750CFM carb on it. I really havent seen a newer truck with a swap like this. will the swap fit. Will a set of shorty headers fit and what tranny would be a good fit if any?

well im going to do a lift kit on it so i hope ill be able to get a pan to fit it. I planned on rippin out hte dash anywase and bulding a custom autometer set up since i was going to beefe the engine up and i want to know all the temps and pres on the fluids.But it will be alot cheaper to build a more power out of the old school 351 than it woul dbe to try wo build a newer engine and i love the power and sound of a big cammed out motor .
