Just looking for thoughts.
I am building a 351W engine for my 83 f150 flareside, c6, 4x4. I have built two engines in the past and consider myself a novice though comfortable at building stock ford engines. I just wanted your thoughts on a solid motor that I am going to use around town. I am not looking for a 400 horsepower race engine or to tow my yacht. Jsut nice idle with power when I want to open the 4 barrel.
I have a 1985 351W block from an f250 (stock bore)
stock crank/rods
Clevite bearings
KB hyper KB303 pistons, rings
Ported E7 heads (should put compression about 9:1)
Compcams XE262H (using the kit CCA-K35-238-3)
Shorty headers, 2.5 inch exhaust with cats
Ford dual plane intake (FMS-M-9424-P351)
Holley 600 4 barrel, vaccum secondaries
It sounds reasonable. Maybe the next engine Iwill go to a stroker with aluminum heads, but I tink I will try this first. Let me know if you guys have built a similar setup and are happy with the results.

hemi eater, can you me a DD on a 351 i'm building?
1985 351W block from a bronco
stock heads shaved .020 (I guess they're E5's, compression would be near 9:1)
Performer intake
600cfm holley 4v w/ vac. sec.
2" carb spacer
Comp cam 270H
hedman full length headers with dual 2.25" exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers
i hope for it to be putting out some numbers close to DVM04 but as it sounds better and performs better than a stock 2V 351 i'd be happy. what stall and gears should work well with this? trans is an AOD and the rear is an 8.8 with i think 3.55s. the motor's goin in a high performance E-150, lol.
