Guest Anonymous Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Just curious- does anyone know any bad tendancies about a 351 out of a bronco? Any years I need to watch out for? (no bad intentions, spot- :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Should all be pretty much the same. There are some older years that are supposedly more desireable but at the HP levels we're looking at I don;t think it matters. Some of th elater ones would have the needed threaded holes fro a roller cam - that migh tbe nice to have. I've forgotten the switchover year though - it was righ tabout when the first Lightning came out though - fairly new. It won't have a roller in it but it could take one if that's what floated your boat... (shrug) Oh, make sure it's not a Cleveland or a 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Thanks, It's just a 351 with aluminum heads, and a 650 double pumper- Plus a three speed tranny, but that'll have to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dp351zcar Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 The one thing I would look for is a rear sump pan. I had heard that they are what is needed to fit in but I don't know for sure as I have not trial fit my engine yet. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Aluminum heads? That's not stock dude, if you can get it cheap go for it. Oil pans can be swapped if you must but finding one wiht th erightpan sure would be nice. 351W "double hump" pans came in Crown Vic police cars and those might have ben used elsewhere too. Not sure if that's what you need or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 How many poneys do you think it would have with everything stock, except the aluminum intake, and 650 double pumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
