If they went from a 302 to a 351M they'd have to do the tranny as well.

thats why i asked. because its very possible they went to a 351w and not the 351m due to the tranny. the 351m would require a lot of changes to get that in there and be more work then going with the windsor. not to mention the windsor being the better motor choice.

ive discoverd it is not a 351W and in my honest opinion the 351M 400M are better than the widsors yeas harder to find parts for but they create much more power and last longer than a 351M and since mine has a fresh rebuild than i doube im going to change it and when i do im going diesel
