Thread: 351w build

Tweet

So could someone maybe point me towards a good 408 stroker kit. crank pistons balancing for a decent price.my cylinders are probably going to be .040 over. im looking for quality still but one of the guys on here told me about one from comp but it was 2700. it was a very quality kit but im looking for something a little cheaper. maybe less then 1400. also I am probably going to use edel performer rpm heads so I would like the crank and pistons kit to go well with those heads. also a good cam to go with that. I know its a lot to ask for but I know there is a way to build this for under 4500.

Here's where you want to start.....click on 41 used from $4.99....

While you are waiting for Tech's recommendation to arrive, here's an on-line site that will give you some basics: Wallace Racing - Automotive Calculators

Richard - thanks - I've been looking for that one but just couldn't Google the right name - I'm ordering a copy for myself

thanks techinspector I just ordered that book from amazon waiting for it in the mail. I really appreciate all the feedback and tips. thank you also IC2

You can install any small block Ford in a Mustang even if it came with a six , the engine bay is designed for the largest engine available for its year . But I would go to a 302 roller and get the RPM's from it for speed . I have a 351 and am looking at torque number with it going into a 37 Ford Coupe , will need more torque to get it rolling .

I am not building race cars though just some good old fashioned Iron .

I may drive up to Pat to assembly a bullitt proof putter for the 37 .

.. Did this 351W engine ever get built? I have a 351W around 425HP that I built fairly cheaply, around $1,000...

.. Of course, my first question in this thread would have been WHY a 351W... not that there is anything wrong with them...
