The 351 will end up about the same. Just make sure to get a 94 and newer rebuilt short block because they will be roller blocks. All the things you will need like distributor, headers, lower intake, drop mounts, 28oz flywheel and balancer can be obtained on ebay for very reasonable prices. You will also need to lengthen your fuel rail crossover lines, but that's cheap and easy. You can also get a 95 cobra ECM & injectors on ebay cheap as well, or buy the ECM from autozone (as much as I don't like autozone). All in all the cost will end up about the same if you are looking at a quality stroker.I would love a 351w but I thought it would be much more money. And yeah a 331 would be better. You get pretty much the same pow er from What I'm hearing. Where could I find a 351w is thag an old old engine or was it produced around the same time as our 302s? I'm not sure if I want to go the stroked riute either I heard they are not god for a dd
What? Too expensive. I can get a late model 351 roller for $775 with 90 day warranty! Mabbco.comIts 1299 for the short block economy 351w from late model and 2999 for a long block 351w from summit. The long block is 300hp. Thays not a bad price. What would I need to finosh a long block I know it has heads but no intake manifold right. I think a 351w with the trickflow setup would be pretty powerful. Not sure if they make the kit fpr a351 tho?
Im glad you got the cooling system straightened out. It sounds like it needed a lot more fluid.Update...ok so I bled the cooling system this morning and I think everyrhing went smoothly. I actually pushed a funnel in the rad and it made an air tight seal I think lol so it raised the high point and everything went as it should. For the first timenin all my attempts the fan kicked on and stat opened when it should have. The system took another hallon and a half also no volcano this time. I waited untill the fluid level stayed about an inch from the top for a while. And no bubbles heat worked. I think and I hope I'm all good now. Also tightened all the clamps agian. So I hope I can move onto duming money elsewhere on the vehicle. I need a heat shield for my air filter now where can I find one. My cai goes into the fender but nothing covers the hole back up. Should I just fab something up and screw it to the fender/engine bay? Also I asked this before and its a dumb question. But am I saposed to hear my cai sucking in air when I am on the gas? I can hear it like its sucking air through the passanger side vents inside the car. Normal or not? Sorry guys I'm an idiot lol
The volcano was from trapped air and not enough incline on the nose.And yeah it def needed more coolant. It would never let me fill it all the way before it would start the volcano. This time it did. Ill findout in the morning on the way to work if everything is good now. I had a 15 min drive
To my second job today everhthing looked ok. But usually it wouldn't get hot untill about 25 mins of driving.
No, no. This is actually a good thing because you do not have a good ratio of water/antifreeze in your system. I'm surprised that its working as well as it is. Also, when you empty out your system, it will give you a chance to replace what sounds like a less than optimal thermostat. Do you have a motorcraft stat in it?Ahhh I wish I woulda known the not enoughincline part lol....everytime that happened I would turn it off and call it a day. Anyway made it to work. And the car ran hot for 1 sec and back down. Did the same when I stoped at a light. Nothing at all like before. When I say a sec it was literaly a seccond. So I guess it Is either still a tiny bit of traped air or my hg has a tiny hole. IDk. Its aggrivating. But its drivable I actually took the 30 min drive to work and immidiatly had tonrun home because my girl locked herself out. So I drove for a total of 1.5 hours and it was fine only got up to between m and a on gauge very briefly. Like a bump. At this point I've attempted burping the vehicle so much my system is atleast 85% water so I have to drain it and throw antifreeze in there before the temps get below freezing. I'm terrifies to do this becaus my luck when I do it ill have another air gremlin
Like mikestang63 said, test the new stat. However, I have seen that Motorcraft stats are simply higher quality than the rest.No I do not. I haven't been able to find one. I even checked amazon. I could of very well overlooked it though. Did you say you have a part number? Thanks joe
Don't buy the pre mixed 50/50. You are paying 2x the amount. Buy a gallon of whatever regular coolant is on sale and two gallons of distilled water. I also throw in a bottle of H2O pump lubricant as insurance. Don't worry if you need to add a little more water than coolant.How many jugs of 50/50 should I get 2 or 3? Iknow it takes more then 1 lol
Mikestang63 has a good point about prices. Check prices on coolant. Where I live the (socialist state of CA) prices are different. I second his idea that if you mix your own, get distilled water. Do not let tap water into your system.How many jugs of 50/50 should I get 2 or 3? Iknow it takes more then 1 lol
