351w daily driver build
hey guys im a new member to this site and i could use your oppinons, I recently bought A 351w that came out of an 84 f250 i striped it all down to bare block i would like to rebuild it and get around 200-300 hp out of it i dont know that much about 351's and im not sure what heads are on it or what to run ive heard gt-40 gt-40 p's work? not really sure what to do... Any good combonations? thanks

yes its lots easier just to use the iron gt`s the p heads suck just becasue of that reason there practically the same heads just one uses different headers!
yes a stock .030 357 cu in with stock heads can roll out those numbers, would be worth the extra dollars for a roller cam install too.
2 ways to do it get a retro fit kit and have the machine shop drill and tap the lifter valley or buy the link bar lifters.
you can have a DD with more power than what u want for next to nothing with the 351, depending on what its going in!!

The P heads suck, yup. If you only want a 300hp build then just pull the current heads and have them rebuilt and port and polish them, or save for a nice set of 2.02 heads. You can find them anywhere used for cheap.

Just use a flat tappet cam. The linked lifters come with a hefty price tag. If you use the GT40's on a 351 you will basically have a 95 Lightning longblock. They only produced 240hp. The extra cubes just upped the torque number to the 340's.

keep in mind the 95 Cobra R used an IDENTICAL set up, just with a hyd roller instead of a hyd flat cam and made 300hp...

IIRC, the lowers are the same (351W GT40) but the uppers are similar (both tuned for idle - 5500-6000 ish)
but yes, the lightning used speed density instead of MAF.
BUT... it did have the twin 50mm TB set up... lol.
