F250 Hd
Anyone here have a F250 HD with a 351W? I would like to know how well it pulls with the 351W. I have a 460 in mine and have a chance to swap it out for a 351. Also will the C6 bolt up to the 351? Thanks

Yes, you need a "small block" C6 for the 351W. I have changed out the internals before from one C6 case to another. Its not that hard. If you want 351 Cubic inches, you could get a 351M engine which would bolt right up to your C6.

But I have a 351W lined up for my truck I just need to line a transmission up too.

I would rather install a 351W myself. I only mentioned the 351M if he wanted to keep his C6. Also, it would assume the 351M is rebuilt correctly with all kinds of modifications to keep it from being a dog. I don't want to get into the Windsor vs 335 series argument, I've been there done that too many times.

Ha Ha Mark- I knew I'd here something over this one. My opinion comes from the fact that my brother had an M in his 79 1/2 ton 2wd. Same as the ltd, dependable, but completely gutless.

i have an 85 f250 hd 351 with 160000 plus, aside from minor normal ford issues truck is great and still has plenty of power left, can haul to scrapyard or just drive around town, empty truck is quick for a 5300lb vehicle lugging around a 1 ton suspension,and loaded to hilt as much as 3800lb of scrap, truck loses very little,towing the same just dont expect more than 65 or so without really pushing it...
