Knows it not for a mustang, but is a windsor....

Been converting my 94 F150 into a semi lightning clone. Pretty much drivetrain swap but not doing the monochromatic paint scheme. Can see pictures in my sig(cardomain site) Since times are slow, had some free time to assamble the 351. Prett much have the long block together. Still need to order pushrods though, plus get intake and valve covers cleaned & detailed.. Hopefully Santa is good to me this and year, and will let me send the header to be coated..LOL

Would any one care to guess-timate on power out put???

Run-down of combo..

94 block bored .030- (bored & honed with torque plate),
Kieth Black Silv-O-lite pistons -(6.5cc valve reliefs),
TFS stage one cam,
GT40- X303 Heads(64cc chambers),
Crane 1.6 roller rockers,
Gt40 Intake,
65mm TB,
24 injectors,
73mm maf,
FMS 1 5.8 shorty headers,

Cant decide on exhaust,, either going to run 2.25 pipe into muffler with a 3" single tail plip in stock location... OR... 2.5 duals coming like a lightning.... But either way going to have hi flow converters on it... And dynomax mufflers...

Anyway,,,Here are currnet pictures.... What she look like so far?????

You will be lucky to break 150 Hp with that setup, if you want some REAL power get a chevy engine


Just joking, what are you hoping to make??

Nice engine. My question is....

After spending all of that time and effort on the engine why are you dying on the exhaust system. That combo is begging for some shorty headers into cats and duals. 2.5 inch please with 3 inch tips.

On the exhaust for the f-150,,, would liek to do long tubes, but already have brand new FMS shorty headers.. And may run 2.5 duals with some sort of x-pipe.

As for power I would like to make 350 at flywheel.
