Question Special or Not??


I pulled a 351 out of a junk yard to put it in my truck which badly needs a new engine. one day i was working on my race car and a friend from school and his dad came by and he started looking around my garage and saw my project engine block he was telling me that it was ganna be one bad *** when it was built engine,he also mentioned it came from the factory with some power and asked how much i wanted for it and i dont want to sell it to him if there some thing special about it here the only numbers off the block he would have been able to have seen and the oil pan and thats about
D9AE-6015-ED-23
I also have the Haynes TECHBOOK FORD ENGINE OVERHAUL MANUAL i cant find any thing in there that tells me whats so special about the engine
so if any body could help me it would be greatly appreciated

How many valve cover bolts does it have

6-7-8 ?

I would guess *8*


This sounds like a 351M or 400.

You can do something special with the 400 but the 351M isn't worth anything AFAIK.

The 400 came with 158 HP
the 351M was less than that.
