I suppose there should be a way to figure it out if you know the mass of the truck and the time it takes to accelerate. Power is the change in energy divided by the change in time, so if you could write it as m*(v1^2-v0^2)/(t1-t0). But then again, that doesnt take in account gear ratios and such...I'm sure some engineer could help me out!

1995 vinH MFI: 210hp@3600 325lb/ft@2800
1995 vinH SFI(CA/e40d/maf): 205hp@3600 330lb/ft@2600
1995 vinR MFI(lightning) 240hp@4200 340lb/ft@3200
This is direct from Chiltons, look at the notes. '95 CA SFI trucks had more torque at a lower RPM and 5 less hp at the same rpm as the MFI trucks of the same year. Hard to compare the lightning stuff because the engine speeds are a decent amount higher. They all have the same compression (8.8:1) but the lightning has a different cam and the gt40 style intake.

i have a 83 bronco with a 351 windsor. i was curious as to if i could take the heads from my 78 351 modified and exchange them with the factory windsor heads? if so, what kinda problems and/or challenges am i faced with?. is it really worth my time and money?

Installing 351m heads on a windsor block is possible but they're likely to perform worse because '78 was a smog year and these heads will have large combustion chambers so compression will drop. And you're going to have a problem finding an intake to fit, so overall this is a bad idea. If you want more output from the windsor simply put a cam in it and install an aftermarket intake and exhaust, that's the short route to 300hp.
