83 351W What will it fit?

The 351W will fit into just about anything. It's about the biggest
engine you can get into a 64.5-66 Mustang without modifications to the
engine well.

It will bolt up to the bellhousing and the Ford Motorsport catalog
supports this engine very well. They also have a tech help number if
you order form their catalog and you have questions. You want to keep
your flexplates correct on these engines. The early small blocks had a
28oz flywheel, the later ones had 50 oz. Other than that, the late
model should interchange with the early.
And as you know, the rear sump takes a rear dipstick. The early front
sumped pans have the dipstick tube in the timing chain cover.
