Doing some research here and asking questions in the middle of the night. Engine in my 86 Vic is toast. (Rod knock and avatar should give a hint of the fun that went down this weekend.) Buddy of mine has offered to sell me his sweet 351w for 800 that makes 400hp. Issue is it won't come with headers, intake or a carb..
So I was thinking.

That may solve some of the problems.
Now I know the truck intake won't fit under the hood. Since the car is strictly sentimental to me, I have no quarrels about cutting a hole in the hood and finding a cowl for it.
Now assuming everything will fit what other parts do I need to seek or calculate? I am guessing I need to go find another ECM.. But what types would I look for? I know the cam on the 351 is far from stock. (Heck the motor is cranking out 500hp with his aluminum heads.) I know the firing order is different on the 351w then our LoPo 302's.
Any input on my insane idea?
