My 93 F150 Has A 302. I Rebuilt A 73 351c And Want To Know The Best Way I Can Run The 351c With My Existing Computer Stuff.
Is There An Adapter That Will Allow Me To Bolt The 302 Intake On The 351c?? Also, Will The Tranny (aeod) Bolt Up??
Thanks In Advance For Any Advice.

Not that I know of there is nothing made to bolt that 302 intake to the 351c, as far as the computer goes place two hands on it give it a yank and then proceed to send it to the nearest junk yard, just bypass the computer and get an MSD ignition and manual gauges probly be the easiest way(just a suggestion)

I *think* the 351W intake will bolt up to your 351C engine with little modification. The EFI engines do not have (need) coolant running through the intake at all, so you could just use the 351C outlet without the cooling ports in the heads.
Your truck EFI is "speed density", so if the new engine flows a different amount of air at any given RPM (or all) it will not run right. I'd getthe "MASS AIR" conversion for it, then it should be allright.

I'm 105% positive the Cleveland won't bolt up to the 302 tranny, unless its a manual and you have a bellhousing for the '73. You'll need a C6 if you want an auto, which means you may hafta fab a tranny mount or swap croosmembers....
The 302 intake will rest on your lifter valley and not even touch your heads...spend a little over $200 and buy an Edelbrock Performer, or Performer RPM if you use your truck like a car...
Yank out the 15lbs of wiring and install the aftermarket ignition, like Southern Thunder suggested.....
Buy a round chrome air cleaner lid and don't bother with the factory airbox......hope that helps...Latah....
