351W Build inputs...

nissan owner · 09-08-2009, 09:12 PM

Hi my name is Ray, I am fairly new to the Mustang world...So I need some help, and would really appreciate anyones input. I currently have a 84 Mustang GT and I am looking to drop a 351W. I currently have pretty much the short block assembled, which consist of the key components; Lunati 61004LK cam, Keith Black pistons (hypereutectic flat) I belive its 10:8:1 with 60cc head, stock crank and rods. Also it is bored out 60 over. So thats the background with that.

Okay I am looking for 400whp N/A (Or to get as close as possible) so for the top portion I was looking at possibly going with these heads, which I want to know if any of you have used them, POWERHOUSE SB Ford Aluminum Heads - 60cc/210cc As Cast Ports/Chambers https://shop.enginekits.com/osb/itemdetails.cfm?ID=2933, a good intake manifold as well as a 750cfm carb...

Do you guys see it possible? This will be through a C4 and 3.73 gears. Looking for a track car and don't really care for drivability. Any input would be great. Keeping in mind the short block is already assembled. So let me know thanks

Any links? of inexpensive heads?

jfritts · 09-09-2009, 03:56 PM

if you want good heads look at paying 1500-2500. heres the ones i am using. combustion chamber is a little bit bigger than what u were using http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TFS-51700012-C01/

I was looking to get the AFR 185cc 58 combustion chamber would that meet my needs? or should I step up to a 205cc?

AdderMk2 · 09-09-2009, 06:56 PM

185 is a bit small for a 351. Most guys who street their 347's will run a 185. I opted to run a 192cc head that had some light port work. They do VERY well on my car

If i had the money to go with the AFR205's id have them... but my Canfields were $1000 cheaper
