Hey All, I have a motor that is a factory four barrel setup. Did these come in trucks or is this likely a car engine? It is a Windsor, but I don't have the numbers to run so that is about all I know (could be 302, 351, etc. The 302 and 351 are the most likely right?).
If these motors were options in trucks, what years were they found in and what displacements were available (I'm guessing just the 351?).
Thanks for any help. I know I haven't supplied much info but I'm just looking for general answers.

 

Hey Sorry I didn't add this in the original message, but the truck has an Autolite 4BBL--not a Holley!

 

351 4BBL were offered in trucks during the '80s...

At various times 302s and 289s were offered as a 4BBL in cars...

 

Thanks for the response, but weren't the 80's 4bbl Fords Holley equipped? How about before then, did they ever come with Autolite 4bbls or is this likely a car engine?

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 10-Oct-02 AT 04:43 PM (EST)]Yes, the 351-4V H.O.(or "5.8L H.O.")offered from '84 1/2-'87 had a Holley 4180 four barrel carb.

 

To anyone who cares I picked up Ford Engine Parts Interchange reference last night and it has helped me identify my engine (obviously). I have a 289 from anywhere from 63 to 67. It has a Autolite 4100 4 barrel. Thanks for the help though.

 

hey don't throw away the autolite 4100 carb. if you decide you don't want to use it. i would be interested it.

 

No sorry I think it will stay with my collection. The book i mentioned above just made it out to be too good of a carb to get rid of!

 

i don't blame you for keeping the 4100. i really like them and they are a real dependable carb. i figured i would ask anyway just in case. have a good day

 

For future reference, a good way to tell 302/289 from a 351W is the width of the intake manifold. 9 inches for the 5.0, 11 inches for the 5.8. Also, I have a 4bbl 351W intake I got off a 83 van.
