I've just gotten a 351 windsor and I'm trying to find out the spec. on it. I have the s/n # were could I found out all of its info? Such as date made ext...

 

The letters and number can be broken down into yr date model vehicle type etc, put ur number on here and i or someone else can break it down for u!

 

Look down by the starter and get the #'s

 

An example of how the numbers break down.

E is for decade(198x)
7 is for singular year which is added to above (1987)
T truck meaning the part came from the truck series of parts
E engine meaning this is an engine component.

C6AE 1966(A is body style) E is engine part
D9TE 1979 Truck engine part
F4TE 1994 Truck engine part.

that is a 69-70 block best stock 351 block ever.It has enough beef on mains for four bolt caps

 

keep in mind this is a 9.480" deck, NOT a 9.500" deck, and it WILL affect intake manifold choices...

as for there being a enough materials for a 4 bolt main, who cares?

if youre boosting the engine, the block itself isnt strong enough to handle enough to warrant 4 bolt mains, and if youre revving it to the moon, its too much bearing speed for the 3.000" mains.

get an aftermarket block with a 9.500" deck, 4 bolt mains with 2.749" main journals and you'll be set.

but otherwise the 69/70 blocks are nice pieces, just a a little harder to find some stuff for (just like a pushrod SN95...)
