The main mount for the AC and alternator won't fit the Windsor block without 
rework. And I don't know where you go to get a fully baffled 10-qt oil pan for 
a Windsor, but you'll need it. Here's an old post on the subject from Space 
City-

"I am in process and almost done doing a 351w efi swap. There are 
difficulties. I will try to list them all.
 
 1. Headers and rear section.
 2. Water pump on 351w usually exit on the opposite side. You will need the 
right-exit 351w water pump.  Easy to get.
 3. Thermostat housings is on the manifold and not in the block.  You will 
need a 90 deg housing from PI.
 4. You will then have to fab water pipes-the pipes that go from the motor to 
over flow bottles.
 5. You will also have to move the water bottles. 
 6. Small dist cap.
 7. Alt/ac bracket.  PI has them.
 ZF bolts right up.
 
 I suggest you talk with Jerry at PI he does lots on these. 
 
 You could also talk with Kevin Govett.  He is on the list every few days. 
Kevin is here in Dallas and is a Pantera owner."
