a quick scan of the google results for 351W FMX leads me to think that they would bolt up. I dont know anything about them

First off, is the trans in the truck original? If it is, it is not an FMX. The Slicks used an MX and that is not the same thing. An FMX was used behind the 351 but an MX was not. Hawkrod

I have a FMX in ole Red and a 351W. I've never had any issues with it. The PO installed it in 1979 and it's not been pulled since then. Hope that this helps. Red

thanx guys , your info is priceless. there's no better place to learn about our slicks than this site and the guys on it. everyone has been very helpful. thanx again. at the first of the month i'm gonna pull the 302 out and get everything ready for the 351. while the motor is out i'm gonna install all new shocks, and replace my steering gear box, should be much easier to get to with the motor out.

I've heard both ways on the FMX but it was supposed to be an upgraded transmission. However, you may need to check the bellhousing for fitment. It may be for an FE.
