I'm currently on a tight budget but can pickup a 96+ Explorer/Mountaineer engine from a friends junkyard for free. He also said he would give me a low mileage 351W in return for some recent work I did for him. So just wondering if the ported GT40P parts would flow well enough on the 351W and if so how much rwhp might I push. I plan on getting aftermarket parts at some point but this would be temporarily till I have the cash.
Ported GT40P Intake and Heads on a 351W, is this a bad idea?

a stock ho intake and e7 heads will work for a temp job... It just wont be making high HP numbers, as well as your GT40 stuff. It will work okay, just make sure it stays temp. and doesn't become perm!

Just to clarify?
The lower intake from a 302 won't fit a 351w.
However, if you find a GT40 351w lower, then the 302 upper should bolt up just fine to the 351w lower.
I cannot say for sure, as I have never done this.
But I am pretty sure this is true.
I sounds like this would be a good way to get into a low buck 351w conversion.
Good Luck with it,

it will work - it will just make most of it's power below 5,000 rpm or so. I think you'd be happy with it as a temporary combo. If your up to the conversion (takes more than a different pan and - yes - lower intake), then I'd go for it since the cost will be fairly minimal.
