Here I go. I got a 351W here at home. What does it take to put in. Derict or is there alot to it

[M L Struck]

headers,oil pan, oil pump pick up

[White Thunder]

simple....what he said.....there are alot of threads about this

[NeverEnuff]

Um...more than that guys.

Headers
Oil pan AND rails
Oil pump and pickup (FRPP swap kit is best bang for the buck, 135 bucks)
351 Distributor
Lower intake if you have aftermarket intake, or a complete upper and lower
If you have stock heads, you will need to drill out the bolt holes for 1/2" bolts
The balance on 351s are 28oz. If you want to just swap it in, you need 28oz flywheel/flexplate and a 28oz balancer
A/C and P/S bracket or just P/S if you deleted the A/C
If its a roller cam, you need tie bar lifters or mod the block
longer pushrods
Extend the fuel rails

beer...

Beer, it's a beautiful thing.

[86er]

a/c bracket is the only thing you need thats a different bracket

weve done 5 swaps and thats the only bracket that wouldnt/doesnt work fromt he 302

[NeverEnuff]

^ Really? So if you don't have A/C and you get the FRPP P/S 302 bracket...and you switch to a 351...you don't need the FRPP 351 swap bracket?

[86er]

we have used the 302 stuff on all of our swaps, off the 302 that was in the car, I dont know if we have magic hands but the shit worked

[WI5.0GT]

but will it work with the 302 trans.

[grnstang]

what trans do you have

[NeverEnuff]

bellhousing patterns are the same. Yes, any tranny that bolts to a 302, it will bolt to a Windsor.

86er...tell me how an AC/PS bracket from a 302 fits a Windsor. The bracket(s) bolt to the water pump...the the upper bracket bolts to the head. Tell me how a bracket made for a 8.2 deck works with a deck of 9.5??? Now if you MADE it work, that's different...but a 302 bracket WILL NOT bolt on to a Windsor...period, that is why they make "swap" brackets.

Hey bird....

how much hp can a 351w hold

it alll depends on how well its built. people on here will say in the 700's though

[NeverEnuff]

Well the weak point is the block. The crank holds quite a bit...and the block will split at some point just like the 302 block does at 500-600hp. I think the Windsor will start having problems around the 800ish range...

[superbean]

if someone is going to build an 800 hp motor, that aint going to be cheap.. why the hell would they use a stock block anyway? LOL

but yeah.. this topic has been covered in MANY threads, ill let others flame you.
