Check out my ad in the classified section if you are interested. Nothing wrong with it, I just finished my swap to a 351w. Complete motor, exhaust manifold to air filter box, oil pan to intake. 65,000 miles.
im going to do that swap from the 300 top the 351w call you please tell me how much it cost you go get this done? and did you get a rebuilt engine or a used engine? I have a 1987 F 150 that i want this done to and also my 300 engine has 160000 miles on it how much you think its worth?
I posted my results for this swap in the 1987-1996 trucks and vans forum. I wrote a complete list of what I needed and what I had to do to get it swapped. My total cost was around $1800. $750 for the motor (with radiator/wiring harness) and around $1150 for all of the other parts. Mine was probably a little more because I had to buy a flywheel, clutch/pressure plate, pilot bearing and slave cylinder. My F150 is a 5-speed. Just plan ahead and take your time. It can be done!! Feel free to ask me any questions. I would be glad to clear anything up for you.

you listed these things as things you changed on your truck you also said you problay forgot some so i was wondering if this is the full list of stuff you change or is there more and if so what is it?
Not sure, I have never dynoed it. It has an electric fan, headers, one catalytic converter (as opposed to two in the stock setup),a cam, k&n filter charger (thanks to 89XLTBronco-see aftermarket forum), and a set of pulleys. I think a stock 1995 351w is 255hp so I would guess, around 300hp. It will smoke my BFGoodrich 33's through 2nd and leaves some of the riceboys wondering what just happened at the last stoplight
By the way. I sold the six a while back. Sold the whole thing for $650. The guy got a good deal. Everything; complete motor (untouched as it came out of the truck), flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, computer, air box, everything. He had serious blowby in his old motor...it was pumping oil out of the airbox. Not pretty.
my 300 is an 1987 with 160000 miles on it if i sell it with the stuff you sold also what do you think i could get out if it?
O yeah i forgot to ask you what kind of gas milage do you get now?
I am not sure what you will get for that motor. Mine only had 65,000 miles on it. One junkyard was trying to sell me a complete 302 with 156,000 on it for $850. I would think that you could get $350-$500 for it. It all depends on what part of the country you live in.
jeez i dont see how you get that kind of gas milage with them bigger tires and big engine with alot of horses hell with my 300 right now i only get between 13-14
I am not sure either, but I am not complaining. I fill up both tanks once every two weeks. I drive 30 one way to work, and 30 miles back every day, so that is 300 miles a week. I think that both tanks hold around a total of 32 gallons of gas. So 600 miles divided by 32 gallons equals 18.75 mpg.
You can check my gallery, the truck does have 33s on it and a fuel injected 351. The biggest increase in gas mileage and power was installing an electric fan. With the stock mechanical fan I was getting around 12-14 mpg, put in the electric fan and gas mileage went up to around 18-19 mpg.
