How to Identify 351 From 302

GTXRacing · March 20th, 2007, 01:17 PM

I have a 302 right now but long story short... I met this guy yesterday that wanted to run cars together, well he mentioned that he's got a 400ci and a 351ci engine. Right now I can give a smack if the 351 is a winsor or Clevend. All I want to know is how to tell if this engine is a real 351 not a 302.

I'm not taking off my intake manifold just to test or buy another one to test. s there a way to identify this so called 351 without paying for it first?

Thanks

could it be a 302 bored or stroked to 351?

a 302 has a 8.2inch deck

I believe the max stroke is 347 for a 302ci engine and no. MY MOTOR is a 302, the motor I am LOOK AT NOW is claimed to be 351. True 351 not a b/s 351. So I already got fucked out of 400 of a claimed 351 which was a 302 after the pistons told me, so before I fork another 500 to someone imma make sure it's a true 351 this time

If you can measure deck height, you'll know what it is for shizzle.

Mike I will pay you 5 bucks to finally give that Ford/honda fucking a break, eithier that honda's got bad rotted puss or it's just a prolonged time to bust a nut. I really feel for that honda, the hole must be red and all rashy and beat up LOLOL

Racinjason81 · March 20th, 2007, 01:51 PM

if you happen to have a 302 intake handy try it on the suspected 351W
and if it fits its not a 351 and in fact a 302

Like I just said "I'm not carrying around my intake manifold to test

just look at the distance from the front cover to the deck.the 302 is almost flush and the 351w cover is about 1" down.the pictured block is a 351w

GTXRacing · March 20th, 2007, 05:04 PM

Now that's what I'm talking about. That helps out. Can I also measure from the bottom of the block where the oil pan meets the block, and measure to the top?

you'd be better off measuring from the center of the crank to the deck 9.5".I just circled where it's the easiest and quickest why to tell.

GTXRacing · March 20th, 2007, 05:20 PM

Alright I will do that to my 302 so I can differ from the 351 I want. Check out my new post as well about where to get a 351 just in case I am falling into another screw ball deal

88LSC · March 20th, 2007, 05:27 PM

GTXRacing · March 20th, 2007, 05:33 PM

Did you not see where I just said I HAVE A 302??? I beleive I can tell the 302. It's the 351 I needed to know and to be honest, that pic the other guy showed me was waay more accurate than that. If it helps, that's for showing me an assembled block outside of the engine so thanks.

Of course a close up would be nice though.

GTXRacing · March 20th, 2007, 05:55 PM

Better idea guys... If you have a 351 motor or a clear shot of yours in a fbody beast, flash the pic on here that would help as well
