Default 351 Swap Questions/Expectations!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to get some input on the expectations of this particular application as far rwhp/lbstq and how much the engine would be able to hold in the future. It would be carbed so advice on carb size and specs would be appreciated as well. Trying to see 500rwhp N/A!!!!!

Here goes:

351W Roller
AFR 185's (upgraded springs)
1.7RR
Wieand Stealth Intake (Dual Plane)
Solid Roller XR280R (Comp Cam)

500rwhp N/A will cost some serious bucks.

you will have to stroke it out to 408 or 427, have some
AWESOME ported heads, custom cam and spin it up pretty high to see 500 at the wheels.

Another guy in here is running a 408 w/ demon carb and AFR 205's and make about 425rwhp.

351W swap is pretty easy ....... see links below

first no daul plane intake will net anything close to 500hp if your not going to stroke engine or use a power added then it will costly and not very friendly on the street

You guys know there is a 351 forum right? The past couple days i've been seeing 351 threads in this forum so I guess alot of people don't know about it.

-forged rear axles $300.
- slicks(you have), racing driveshaft( $200-300 balanced),
-transmission updated $ 600 yours $1000 new tranny.
-Driveshaft safety loop( $90),
-Subframe welded, connectors($ 175 installed ),
-strut tower brace ($130),
-heavy duty springs and supension mods( minor) $300.

- Headers, Oil Pan and intake will differ from the 302.

-Better brakes $200 + depends, your not stopping 500 lbs of torque easy man, in this lightweight car.


Now engine , 351 spec out to any in this link will get you 500 hp, so yeah, its easy , not too expensive. I could do the conversion all in one day lol.


SO $2500-$3000 without engine. Engine if your installed it yourself? $5,500 max, with machine work and stroker kit , heads, intake, etc?


500 +hp 351 SPECS


Horsepower and 1/4 Mile Calculator

Subscribing


I have some 351w swap info on my site, and I have posted it in the 351w swap section as well. I would post it here but I can't access my site from work.
It was written for efi conversions, but some of it may help you out.

good luck

It's no big deal, it's just that if people don't use that forum it might go away. I plan on going with a 351w swap in about a year and that forum would be really helpfull for me.
