    347 or 351w??

    What fancy stuff I may/may not need is what I'm trying to figure out! I would love the idea of a stroker 351w, but if the cost to build it is outrageous and complicated to install, yet by simply bolting on a supercharger for $3000 and I could have 450+ HP and leave everything else alone...

    347 or 351w??

    I haven't really thought of a vortech setup, but you have me thinking of it now! I was originally considering a simple engine with HCI without the blower/turbo/supercharger power adders and with the intention of getting the HP in the 400-450 range at the crank....which would equate to...

    347 or 351w??

    I have been trying to decide what would be a better motor choice for my 95 GT. The current engine is in fine running condition and does not need a rebuild currently, so this whole process is to get a determination on what to do in the future. I have a good doner 351W roller engine that is...

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    Yes, I did think about that as well and it holds much merit.....but here's the thing. My car runs mint right now. Just installed the new thumper GT40's, new cam, lifters, ported explorer/gt40 intake with 65mm throttle body and stainless headers and exhaust, underdrives, CAI, etc. The bottom...

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    Believe me, I AM researching all over the place. Not only here. I'm talking to engine builders, posting questions for opinions, etc. Don't assume that I'm diving head first and building the engine tommorrow. Far from it. My first objective was to acquire the doaner/block. I wanted a...

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    Ok....then I"m all ears. Gotta start somewhere? If ya don't like the GT40....even ported ones, then gimme a suggestion....same with cam. I'm glad to hear that 351 roller blocks are falling from the sky where you are, but around here they aren't....especially in fully operational running...

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    Well.....I did pick up the truck. The so called lifter tick I had assumed it to be was not lifter tick at all......It is a broken manifold bolt on drivers side. The motor runs excellent. The whole truck runs great! Until the motor is required, it will remain a daily driver. As for the...

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    With the above comment, I assume you are referring to ported/polished stock cylinder heads or the like (GT 40s, GT 40p's, etc) and 5.0 camshafts like the E303? Suggestions??

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    So what about a 393 stroker? Stroker crank, 351 rods, 302 pistons......sounds pretty desireable and simple to build. With some good breathing heads and supporting pieces, this 351 roller block should makes some pretty impressive numbers, not? Should easily put out over 400 HP you would think??

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    I appreciate all of the input, and by all means, keep them coming. I'm not too concerned about getting over the infamous 500 HP mark.....Hell if I got 450 ish HP I'd be very happy. 450 HP in a daily driver work/weekend warrior with 3.55's and a 5 spd sounds like a blast.....and yes a 302 could...

    Any way to find out for certain without digging into it?

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but a 95 roller block should already have roller lifters in it, not? There shouldn't be any need for any "mcgyvering"?

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    Well actually I was considering possibly a 393 stroker with a nice, streetable cam and nice flowing heads and intake. So you are saying that along with all the machine shop costs, building an engine like this is not feasible? The block is not worthy?

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    I am in central Canada. A canada wide search for these engines does yield a dozen choices or so, however, these places are asking anywhere from $300 for a rattling noisy, complete engine, to $1400 dollar range for a good runner with low miles......but keep in mind this is just for the engine...

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    Well....after a few phone calls and such to the wreckers around here....5.8 L 351w are not easy to find. Cores are even hard. Seems like guys have caught on to the fact that they are rollers blocks. I just may buy the truck. The interior is mint and the same color as our 94' F250...

    351W f4te engine block - what would you pay?

    I have a chance to pick up a 95' Ford F150 extended cab. It has the 351W (5.8) and is the desireable f4te roller block. It has never been cracked open and has 225,000 miles. The truck runs pretty decent except for a lifter tick. Owner says it uses about 1 quart to an oil change (3500 miles)...

    Anderson Ford Valve covers on 95 GT?

    I want to dress up my engine compartment a bit and I was told their valve covers fit with no issues. Would like to buy somr Ford Racing covers but constantly hear/read trouble about clearance with alt bracket, intake elbow, etc. No one actually lists a valve cover for the 94/95 except BBK or...

    belt length for smog delete with underdrives?

    95 Mustang GT: Am in the process of removing my smog pump and doing my HCI swap. Been doing alot of reading/searching on what belt size to use for removing the smog pump, but I have yet to come across a recommendation of belt length when using underdrives (crank, waterpump, alt) with the...

    How much install time for new h\c\i?

    Just wondering what the average installation times are for doing a head/cam/intake swap? Had a relative (journeyman tech of 25 yrs) lined up to do the install, but he is so busy that I'm not sure it will get done until I park it for winter! So, I'm looking elsewhere and wanted to ballpark...
