This has been covered many times in previous forums. The 251 is 2" longer than the 230 so some mods are needed. In short - yes if you are willing to strech you hood to make up the extra length needed after you move the radiator forward. The engine itself prety much just bolts in - you may need to drill new holes ~1.5" forward of the current engine support plate holes.
