3 way engine swap
I've got a connundrum on my hands. I've got 3 engines to possibly swap into my 83 F-100. A 400/C6 combo to replace my current 300 C6 combo.
I've also got a 351W/C6 combo also.
I can't chose which to replace the six with, or if i should go back with another six.
Anybody, please help me out here.

The only way to go, cubic inches....hell yeah
The 400 already has a one up on the W, awesome heads. They weigh pretty close to the same. Its also got another 1/2" of stroke and thats a lot of torque potential.
A 400 with a nice Weiand intake, and a Demon 625, with a good set of headers. Thats a pretty good way to go. I might Rering the 400 if its out already, along with new bearings, and an HV oil pump.

The 400 has a lot against it too...i'll have to get manifolds, oil pan, possible driveshaft alteration to make it workable.
The Six...well, thats simple bolt in and go...but slowly.
351W is about the best of both worlds. High RPM V8 Power... and low end grunt ala 300 six.
The 351 is coming from a 79 E-100 van. Aside from frame perches it should be strictly bolt in and go. Everything else should fall in place. And better yet it comes with its own spare C6.
