Will a main girdle off a 347 work on a 351w?

What set up are you doing on the 351 swap?

I just bought a 351w roller motor. Im using the crank and block only. Forged pistons and rods. Hopefully the trick flow top end kit. its got a tubular k member now.

To answer the question, no I don't think it will.

Its just right for a 351W either those or 205's. The trick flow top end kit heads are smaller then AFR 185's to begin with.

Girdle's are different, so is the oil pan and lower intake.

On a 351 block I probably wouldn't even use it

Any two bolt main motor would benefit from a main girdle.

Not really. If you aren't spinning it over 6500rpm, it doesn't really benefit at all. Just more weight and one more thing to work around and make clearance issues.
