Nice . Talk about one stop shopping!

very nice for only $1600!

i'll give ya $1400 for it all...

68stang351 · Sep 9, 2008

Lol, so was this a good deal for 1600$?

I didn't take the rest of the rockers out because they are individually wrapped up.

This is going on a 351w with an undecided cam (probably something similar to TFS 2 cam), with a 70mm TB, those 30# injectors, and all the other typical bolt-ons, in a fox with 3.73's and a 5 speed.

I think it will move pretty good.

Good deal thats for sure.

Cobra912 · Sep 9, 2008

wow............did the guy need oven mitts to hand them over to you? what a steal!!!!

Beasty306GT · Sep 9, 2008

damn you You pretty much stole them...good grab man

68stang351 · Sep 9, 2008

Well, I hardly ever come across deals this good. On the rare occasion that I do, I usually don't have the money. I kick myself for passing up deals like that as rare as they are, and I had the money so I just had to get them.

89CobraGT · Sep 9, 2008

WHoa thats a crazyyy deal haha man I wish I could come across something like that

68stang351 · Sep 16, 2008

Well today I took the valve covers and intake off the 351w I'm putting all that on. The engine is very clean. It supposedly only has 70k on it, and I believe it. I bought it from a friend that I trust so I don't think he would lie to me. I also took off all the crap I'm not going to use, so basically its just a shortblock right now. Me and a friend just degreased it and cleaned it up. When I get something to scuff it up with I'll paint it with Cast Coat Iron paint, even though the original Ford Grey was kinda cool. I think Cast Coat Iron will look great in contrast with the top end that's going on it.

Today we finished cleaning the block, painted it, put on the oil pan, and set the heads and intake on it to see what it will look like. Here are some pics.

The valve covers aren't on yet because I'm using the one's from off the 302 that the 351w is replacing. They are finned polished "MUSTANG powered by ford " covers.

68stang351 · Oct 4, 2008

I picked up a little back up horsepower for the 351w, just in case.
Thinking about running it on my 04 GT until this motor is in the car.

I'm still slowly collecting parts though. I'm taking my list of stuff that I still need with prices to Fun Ford Weekend with me, hopefully I can score good deals on a lot of this stuff.

SMOKEDYA · Oct 4, 2008

looking sweet! but i think and from what i've read and heard the 30's will be a little small. i'm going 42's. peace

Man, that is the steal of the century. I paid damn near $1400 for just my TFS heads!

Is the 351 cut for locwire gaskets, by chance? With the heads having the locwire grooves cut into them, the block needs them, too. It'll never seal the combustion chamber otherwise.

riceslayer302 · Oct 5, 2008

wow what a deal. looks really good

TweekedGT · Oct 5, 2008

Awesome deal man! Trust me, you won't be dissappointed with the power and torque. She will be a tire fryer.

68stang351 · Oct 7, 2008

I think I'm also going to go ahead and buy a pair of these:

Paint to match. an easy way to give your engine compartment a very clean look. a direct bolt-in, requires only minor dimpling on selected places on factory apron. Drill only holes necessary to mount YOUR PARTICULAR EQUIPTMENT. Easy rivit installation. Sold in Pairs.
$195.00 pair

BlownFiveLiter · Oct 7, 2008

I'd steer clear of covers. Even if you just grind the bay down to bare metal and use filler on the holes, you'd be much better off. The covers will allow water/condensation/gunk to build up underneath and you'll never know about rust, until it's too late.
