351CI Question
Hey im new here and im purchasing a car, the car is amazing and i kinda forget the name of it..anyways, it have a Ford Mustang V8 but the guy said he made it for his wife to drive, 351 block with a 302 or 321(memory trouble lol) head....he said if i put back the 351 head i can build it up for lots of power.
What i'd like to know is what is the stock HP/TQ specs on it and how much power can i build it up for?
Oh its on a C6 transmission he said, and that can take lots of power he said.
Can any one correct these and tell me if what he says is true? Got a test ride in it just now and it rides very nice, sounds awesome and he said that was'nt a full ride, just a cruise, i would have to hold on to the seat if he maxed it out lol.
Thanks in advance guys!

RE: 351CI Question
there are a lot of unanswered questions in that
1. what year 351 is it some 351 blocks are weak and are only good for a about 400 to 450 hp
2 what year heads are on it now btw they are 302 heads and what year/type of head is going back on it.
and on the tranny i am not a big fan of the c6 don't get me wrong they are a good strong tranny but they rob a lot more hp over a c4 and a c4 can be built to handle just as much hp as you can put to it.

RE: 351CI Question
Well the thing is, this is what the car is currently with, so i wanna work with it 
heres a pic of it since i have no info on the year, but i'll find out from the guy what year etc it is. He said this block can take up to whatever i want to throw at it
On the head, the cover it says Powered By Ford (maybe this could also tell the year? or not) I have'nt been up to date with v8's since i left america, thats like 4-5 years now so im now gettin gback up on v8 level...im currently with a 1jz-gte motor on a cressida thats being sold. I want v8 back, and the torque they give is awesopme
