Once the wether warms up here I am going to pull the 351W in my F350 and rebuild it using mostly Edelbrock stuff. I figure that they have done the research to make things (cam, carb, intake etc) work together. I am looking for lots of torque at low rpm for towing & pulling.(I wish the truck still had the deisel engine though!) From what I have read around here others have suggested Edelbrock too.

here is a link to the edelbrock site. This is where I figured out what I am going to get. They dont sell direct to us so Summit or Jegs or whoever will be where you will have to get your parts. I have been keeping an eye on Ebay. The prices on ebay for what I want have not been much below what I have found from Summit.

A motor with 9.5:1 +/- compression, weiand stealth or edelbrock performer carb, 600-650 cfm carb, a cam recommended by comp cams extreme energy line (with your 4 speed they will probably recommend a XE268H noticable idle and nice torque but tell them what you have and want out of the motor, they will give you a good recommendation), and some used aftermarket or ported stock heads or gt-40/gt-40p, long tube headers. That should make for a decent truck motor. Later
