351w HO compresion

I was wondering if any one could tell me what the compresion is for the 351 HO. I did a test yester day while doing my tune up. I ended up with a range of 115-120 is that good ?? Bad???I cant find my manual so if any one can let me know what the standerd compresion is. I know its a older motor 112k and it has some blow by. it drives ok a little down on power but Im also running 35s so thats adding a little to it to.

A lot of that depends on blow by. I would say considering your blowby problem you are ok. Make sure they are all pretty even in numbers.

I'd say your engine is getting tired, if the compression was in the 140-160 range you would have a solid motor.Your compression will vary dependent upon your cam,if the motor was warm or cold,if you pulled all the plugs and opened the throttle wide.
