I have not done the convertion.

Acording to the two ford guys I know one being a guru of sorts dont bother.

World products or dart are about the same money and flow much better.

This is what I was told when I ask the same question after a little research proved them correct
I stopped looking for gt40 stuff and whent straight to dart11 iron eagle

Thanks for the advice Century.

Also, this is a just a random find and thought, but would this engine drop into my boat?

From what I was able to find ford made no changes to the crank, motor mount, and bell houseing bolt patern on the 351w so it should bolt in.

The electronics would be the only stumbling block.

Have no clue about the injection.

Century,

I am looking into a set of Iron Eagle heads for my 90 conbrio. What are the specs on the heads you went with? Did you change cam or intake as well? If so, what did you go with? I can get a set of assembled Dart heads for the price of 1 GT40 head.

Intake and carb are stock
