351w rebuild longevity
im rebuilding a 95 351 f4te block and was thinking about a stroker kit.
i talked to Jim at fordstrokers.com and he told me that i should only expect 75,000 miles out of a stroked 351 and i should just rebuild my 351 because i dont need a stroker to acheve what i want.
my question is how long should a rebuilt 351 last?
i would like to get 200,000 miles out of it well more then 75,000.
im puting this motor in a 67 2wd f250cs with a aod. i want to get a decent size tow behind camper and dont want the engine to labor on the truway (75mph)
dose anybody have a rebuild thats lasted over 100,000miles?
thanks

I'd be more concerned about how long the AOD is going to last in a towing application. I'd step up to an E4OD for that. My 95 E150 had the roller 351 and it had over 150K on it when I sold it early this year, it had nothing done to the engine, other than two tune ups, a new TPS and regular oil changes. It showed absolutely no signs of needing a rebuild, it ran as good then as it did when new. And it towed anything that was put on the hitch, from sea level to 10,000 ft.

i was thinking it mite not last as long because resizing rod, main caps, and cutting the crank weakens the parts plus having the stress of being used.
i just got the 351 from a yard. but know you can get decent miles out off a 351w.
the motor im building has 407hp @5500rpms and 451@ 3500rpm on the desktop dyno. using a iski 252/257 cam and AFR185 heads
i think for the money ill use aftermarket rods and crank
go .020 over on pistions (i can still see the cross hatching)
or would the stock parts hold up? i dont thik so.
