For your GMGT?

I'd like to do a 351W project, if I Could find one. Would one have to use the same oil pan/starter from the 302 to fit on the 351? Just a few questions for starters

intake arrived today along with head bolts, ported and installed the heads, and sat manifold onto long block, it is a thing of beauty, or at least it will be when the heads are dark ford blue to match the block, toped off with polished cast aluminum valve covers and an anodized blue 14" moroso air cleaner i just hope i have the hood clearence, even if i dont ill make room :hotwrench: ill post pics in a few days

Nitro,
The 302 oilpan will NOT fit on the 351w. It looks like it will but it won't.
The 351w has a slightly larger rear main. It will get almost all the way on and then won't pull down the last 1/2- 3/8" in the rear. (got bitten on this one with a chrome mustang pan.)

You will want to get a box 351w oilpan, or one for a 351w in a mustang. (aftermarket)

Pretty much everything else except the intake will interchange.

you can get a box 351 oil pan from auto zone for 80 bucks the 351 swap pans for the mustang is about $300

Not to sound rude, but that is one serious turd of an intake....

Best dual plane for a 351W?
Weiand Stealth.
I get nothing but oddly burning plugs when using the Edelbrock performer/RPM....I usually have to run a 2" open carb spacer to get all the plugs to look somewhat similar.

Sounds like a tuning problem. Why would you blame the intake? Turd my ass.
