Its time to start working on 'ol reliable. Its the most dependable piece of iron I've owned, so even though its a little rough it deserves to be fixed up right. First order of buisiness is to get the new motor fit and the turbos mocked up. Heres my main question:

I'm pulling the EFI 300 6cyl out to install a freshened '95 351 EFI motor from an F150. I know I will need the ECM harness from a similar truck and the mass air meter stuff. Will the factory 6cyl K member work by changing to V8 mounts or do have to locate a donor K member as well?

If I have to get a K member I may just sell the 351 and put a single turbo on the I-6. Anyone done it?

Thx!

 

All you need to do is unbolt the six cylinder frame mounts, and acquire and bolt in the V8 mounts. This is strictly a bolt-in deal here. All the holes are already in the "K-member"(this is actually the frame of the truck). The trans will bolt right up also. You will need a new radiator and hoses that fit an 88 F150 with the 351.
Any further help, just post the questions.

Sorry to bring up an ancient thread.. lol. Is there anywhere you can buy these 351W frame mounts? I want them to be new, not from a junk yard.

 

Anyone know?

 

Did you try ford?

I went through this scenario about 6months ago and I know it all too well. Why is it a must for you to find the mounts new instead of used? You should make sure you have ALL the wiring that goes to the engine you are using. I had to find a donor truck and I needed the harness from the top of the motor, the engine compartment harness, the dash harness, and the undercarriage harness. I wish you well.
