The last photo in this slide is the *original i6* that was in my stang when i got it. What an absolutely massive difference. Anyway, i am so proud to say that after a failed 302, waiting 2 months for my rebuilt 351w, and after getting the wrong headers my 351w is NOW INSTALLED! I got some amazing @jbaperformanceexhaust headers which are 1 3/4ths special ordered from @cjponyparts which specifically fit 351w engines in first gen mustangs - both headers went in like a damn charm! Bolting cylinder 8 (drivers side manifold) was kind of tricky, but got it done. Used some @permatexusa anti seize on the bolts for install too. What do you all think of the before and after of my i6 ➡️ 351w engine swap? Appreciate all the love and support you guys show me too! Ive had some wrench-throwing days and lots of you have gotten me through them ?

Nice work! Thankfully the body looked in decent shape to start with, lots of these are pretty rusty at least around here. Inspiring me to get a Mustang of my own!
