What engine?
Hi guys,wonder if anyone can help identify what engine is in our 1977 F100 custom step side.The reg document says its a 351,but when I checked the firing order in the workshop manual it corresponds to a 302.Could it be a 351 with a different cam in it to give the 302 firing order? Can you tell a 351 from a 302 by looking at them?Thanks guys.

The 4.6 enigne is a very easy swap. It has been done many times or you can go all out and swap in a new Ford 6.2 engine that is what I am going with.Just need to find the wrecked truck cheap enough at an insurance auction. I have a friend who is putting a 6.4 diesel in his 79 F-500 4x4 custom 6 door project truck.
