Wiring harness?
Only issue I can think of would be ignition system if the 351w uses later model electronic stuff. Even so, it shouldn't be that difficult to rewire.

Well if your dropping a 351 in ir, you not worried about originality. Sooo, with this upgrade you should be upgrading the ignition and wiring to an MSD or similar type aftermarket ignition, and if your gonna run a fuel injection, again, go with an aftermarket, or tie the stock Ford injection from the 351 into the new MSD.
Yes, it will work just fine

I have a 408W in my 66 mustang with the original wiring harness for now. The only thing I had to do was splice one wire running to the coil. Beware though with the headers they are really really tight to fit in the car unless you have already cut the shock towers out and went with a rod and customs front end.

I have a 351w in my 66 stang, and the original wires will work, but Cj pony parts has a replacement harness I bought for around 50.00 or so.
