351w ford crate engine swap

[rt22]

I am going to swap a new ford crate 351w (M-6007-S58) in my 75eb and have a few questions about any problems I may encounter. My bronco has a 3 inch body lift and c4 trans.
Here is a link to the engine: http://www.fordracingparts.com/crateengine/smallblock.asp

Also, what carb would you recommend for an almost exclusively street driven eb? I'm already over budget and don't want to spend alot of money, but I also want a good/ trouble free carb.
Will any of the 351w headers work from any of the retailers on this board?

Thanks for the help.

I'd go for the J58 engine your paying about $300 for a set of valve covers and a intake manifold if you shop around you can get a manifold for under $150 new or under $100 used.
For a street driven bronco the Edelbrock carbs are a good choice 600 CFM is perfect for a 351 although I'm partial to Holley carbs. All the headers the venders sell will work on your setup.
As far as other problems there really shouldnt be any but you may have to swap all the accessory brackets from your 302 to the 351 the venders sell adapters to make them work right you may also need the balancer and timing cover from the 302 but you can bolt the accessorys up first to see if the belts line up or not. other than that there really shouldnt be any problems.
