pintoches has a 351W H.O. in his 87-92 generation f150, factory as far as we could tell... too bad i couldnet rember how he said he discovered it was a HO. i think the H in the Vin code is somthing along the lines that he told me but not 100% positive.... btw sorry for hijacking the thread but diesel brad should know this, what was the largest comercial diesel ford put out for us, commercial as in a f350, f450 etc etc.. got a guy who wants to know

 

How much difference would you have with a 351W-2V that mas modified to a 4V configuration and a 351W-4V-HO?

I am a novice gearhead, so I don't know if the cam differences were significant, or if the unique cam for the 351W-HO was more for marketing.

 

No idea. It's nice to see a fellow houstonian

 

I'm actually from League City, so I'm a little closer to home. I have the H.O. engine on a 1986 F150 XLT.

 

how much more power did the HO have vs the 2v?

 

i have a f150 with the same motor package only the h.o. had the 4bl the stock one has a two bl

 

According to the all-knowing and sometimes incorrect Wikipedia, the
351 CID Windsor V8 from 1980-82 had 156 hp (116 kW) 262 lb·ft (355 N·m) 2bbl carb
351 CID Windsor V8 from 1983-85 had 150 hp (110 kW) 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) 2bbl carb
351 CID HO Windsor V8 from 1984-86 had 210 hp (160 kW) 305 lb·ft (414 N·m) 4bbl carb

 

Thats it?

 

I'd take an extra 60 ponies.

 

Agreed, 60 horse is quite a step up from the standard motor. Hell, the EFI 302 in my truck is only rated for 185.
