Soon to have 351w mildly built

 

Very nice looking truck. Looks like a truck we use to have a 93 F250 4x4. I love the billet grille.

DM great truck and nice lift, well done man......

 

Thanks Guys! Put alot of work into it. I got it for free because it wasn't able to get inspected... so me and my dad tore it down and restored it.

 

pretty good price.

yeah but all the labor and parts in it wasnt

 

Ya I know. We currently have 2 302s and a 351W I love the 351 alot it is a good engine but the 351 is in a F250 flatbed. the 302s are in F150s. I like my 302 alot to but the 351 does great can't wait till it is on the road it is going to be our work truck. I always loved the 92-96 front clip but we don't have any like that all ours are 80-86 and 87-91.

I've never been much of a fan of the 302's in pickups. I know my old 89 with the 351w would walk all over my dad's 92 with a 302.

 

I like them both overall but the 351W does have alot more power. I like the 302 because to me it is alot torquier. I like toruey trucks.

I don't mean to sound rude, but are you high? The 302 is a DOG compared to 351w's. The 351 has more torque. Longer stroke = more cubes/more torque.

If you like torque, drive a truck with a 300 straight 6. They make peak torque at something like 1800 RPM.

 

I was meaning thats what I have seen our 89 F250 4x4 flatbed 351 only ran for 15 minutes till it ran out of gas and I haven't touched it yet because it needs body work and other trucks tha run better are on my list of fixing. I haven't had much experience with a 300 inline I want to get 1 of our neighbors 84 F100 stepside 300 inline.

I love my 300. That is what is in my 95. I seriously considered swapping in the 351w from my 89, but decided the reliability and brute strength of the 300 were 2 points worth noting. Long story short, the 300 is still in the 95, and the 351w is still in the 89.

 

That is identical to the exhaust I had on my old 89! Same dual, same angle, same spot, and same cut on the pipes. If the truck were black I would say it was mine. lol

 

nice! i first did the lightning style exhaust on my explorer...loved it ever since

i think it will be a perfect set-up, when the exhaust was stock i bent up the tailpipe when backing into snow/ice banks. so it should be safe infront of the rear tire..i hope lol

having alittle back pressure may help the fuel consumption..a tad. i get about 3-4mpg plowing as of last season.
