Clutch
Starter

Stuff to Fabricate are:

Of course, there is a small list of other small items that also needs to be done.

May I ask how much $ that went in this engine swap?


The crate motor was about $6500. The drive, Electronics, Bellhousing, Fuel Pump, Flywheel, Clutch, Starter, etc... was about $3000.00.

For me it worked out good as I had about a $2000.00 bill to repair the 351C. I ended up selling most of the good parts I didn’t need from the old setup for almost $3000.00 so my net out-of-pocket cost for the swap was less than $5000.00.

You know how much weight you saved over the rear wheels too?


The crate motor was advertised at 410lbs. I am not sure how much the 351C is but it must be in excess of 700lbs if you include headers to Air cleaner.
