The 351m is a 1979 F-350 motor. I already know i have to replace the rear end and convert the car from 4 to 5 lug. The car had a 5 speed in it so i will run a 4 speed behind the 5.8. I don't know any good spots to look for mustang parts so if anyone knows of any let me know.
The 351M is not considered a desirable engine swap for the Mustang. It is a torque monster, but it's larger size and lack of aftermarket components make the swap both more inexpensive and impractical.

What are your goals with the swap?
