I am thinking about putting a 351 Windsor in my 1990 Coupe LX. I have a 1986 bronco with a carborated Windsor sitting in my yard, and figured what the hell. What parts do you guys think I should use. You know heads, cam, pistons etc... I am in college so I need to know the best parts at the best price. I am hopeing to get the car into the high 11's. I would also like to get 12-14 mpg as well, do you think it is possible. I was planning on running a 75-125 hp shot of nitrous with a C-6 automatic transmission with overdrive, a shift kit, a trans. brake, and a B&M stall converter. Also does anyone know what motor mounts I need to get, because the cylinder angle of the Windsor is different from the 5.0 Liter?

 

All you REALLY need are a bigger hood and a different oil pan, and it will bolt right in. Only big differences between the two are the Windosr is a bit wider, different crank and stroke and a taller deck to get the displacement. Way better than a 5.0, and I am actually building a 351W to put in a fox right now. As for performance parts, this is both in the wrong section and there are so many possibilities that it would useless to try and set a direction for the project.

 

Thanks for the info, and sorry this isn't the right forum. I am still wondering if I could get the car into the high 11's and still make my goal of 12-14 mpg.

 

With the right fuel injection setup and tune, no rpoblem! Hey, gimme a PM with any Qs on this. I'll give ya a good website to check out, and since this might be my next project, I've spent the last month or so researching the 351W's aftermarket and power yields from certain setups. Ask anything you want.
