Need help identifying this motor please

Was told it was a 351m but looking at the valve cover bolts I'm now not sure. It's sitting in a 1959 f100 mated up to a C6 trans

I can't see it well enough to tell 100% but it could be 351W. Or a 302. The valve cover shape ( /==\ ) tells us it's one or the other. Look at the motor for these differences:

NOT an M motor for sure.

Is that a serpentine belt setup on it? If so, a later model which is a good thing, many times a real good thing roller cam and head wise.

As best I can tell, there is no Track Boss for the "Windsor" 302. There are many manifolds for that motor, if you want to modify your engine.

The Track Boss appears to be for C and 351W motors. No interchange on manifolds between those two or between either and the 302. The 302 has a tiny, narrow little manifold.

Intake Manifolds

I was implying the TMI Track Boss aftermarket block.

85e150six4mtod, I like the way you think, but I would have to run something really radical; like a fat runner Cross Boss' style on a 400, or tunnel ram
(think tunnel port 427 dual quad <picture below>)
with dual dominators. It would have to have Jesel shaft mounts, 1/2 inch pushrods, 4bolt & girdled main, and Chrysler or larger tappets.
