It's been done. It's a straight forward, well documented swap. However most come out like crap because the guys doing it are on a shoe string budget.

You'll also have to have extremely modest power goals. These engines like to come apart under high power applications (read 350whp) and the trans is fairly fragile. I've yet to see if anyone has ever completed a 351 swap, as the block is wider.

But if you are handy, want a cheap project and a V8 gurggle, why not?

Search the Googles.
