one beat 351m
what would cause a 351m to basical burn every seal spin 3 mains and 4 rods and toast ever piston ring in the engine and give you no oil pressure. i recently posted askin about engines but since i cant just boldt the 351c in imma rebuild the 351m hopefully into a 400 if u can find a crank on my budget. i bought the truck witch is a 78 f250 with 36in swampers and 456 gears ad 4 speed. i know the last owner beat her prettty bad but i had no idea of it this bad.any info would help
anymore info need let me know i know the last 3 owners whom pretty much rebuilt the whole truck..... well the last one only changed the carb wich hurt i know that and beat the dog crap out of this poor old girl

He must have beat it pretty hard. I bought mine with just a little bit of a knock at start-up. It has next to NO oil pressure. The oil hasn't been changed in years. I can't justify to my wife a rebuild until it dies. I haven't been able to kill it. When my wife isn't looking, my teenager and I burn the tires off of it until there is so much lifter noise, we can hardly stand it, but it keeps on running. I am starting to think that this motor should be in a "Slick 50" commercial.

WOW! That's all I can say, that motor was toast from the 4:56 gears, 36 inch tires aren't that much taller than stock.... The 4:56s made that thing run about 3k rpm at 55mph.. At least it didn't have 5:13s in it like the GMs did...
