hey. how hard is it to get 4-500 hp from a 351w . i have 1 just need to rebuild it and i was thinking i maybe shouldnt dump the money into the 302 thats in my 91 lx. how hard is it to put in . its efi and i have the computers and everything but im just not sure.. i know i need a new oil pan and headers . just wondering if its worth it . oh yeamy ac works on the91 lx 302and do you know if it will bolt to the 351?

 

Is 400-500 possible...Yeas, with stock displacement and no adder of any kind (spray, blower, hairdrier) it would be difficult without massive H/C/I and high compression.

I am not sure about the A/C as I have NEVER ran one with any of my 351W based projects....5 of them[&o]

And it's hot where I live, thank God for my projects not being DD's

 

You can buy the AC/PS bracket #M-8511-B351. I will be doing the 351wswap also in my efi car and keep my power steering and a/c

Been there done that.

475hp at 6,000 rpm on engine dyno

351W. bored .03 for 357ci.
stock rods
stock crank
forged 13cc dish pistons
ARP bolts and studs
Ford Racing windage tray
Zero Decked
AFR 185 w/ 58cc chambers - 10.3 compression
upgraded valve springs
CompCams XFI cam
BBK 1 3/4 LT's

It will bolt right in and run off stock 5.0 computer with a tune.
Ford makes swap brackets so all the factory accessories bolt in.

Hood clearance is the biggest headache. Plan on 4" hood unless you
get real inventive.

 

once again thanks you guys for the help

 

r.barn how much did it cost you to build that motor? and also is a 351 a direct drop in?
