scroll down to 6-2-2012, you will find a member thats getting ready to make the 351C swap. No updates since, maybe he will chime in and let us know his progress. I too have all the parts to make the same swap, I just haven't had the time lately to get out to the garage to get started. I hope to make the swap using an AOD transmission.
You did notice the original post was 3 years ago? If you are planning this swap yourself best to start from scratch again,let us know what it's going into and what transmission you will use.
