Hi guys,

It's my understanding that Ford had a 351 "HO" motor put into 84-87 F-series trucks. While still smog-raped, the motor came with a 4 barrel carb/intake and a more aggressive cam. And seeing as tomorrow is half-off day at my local auto wreckers, I thought maybe I would go try and pull one.

With that in mind, does anyone have any photos/would mind taking photos of a stock 351HO motor in their truck? I know I should just look for the appropriate intake/carb, but nonetheless a picture is always nice to see, just in case.

Thanks guys -Hansol

 

This air cleaner is the biggest giveaway:



Beyond that, any 351W that you find in a truck of those years with a 4bbl and a cast iron intake will be an HO.

 

...also installed in vans of the same years for masochistic engine pullers.

 

Just as a follow-up:

If the air cleaner isn't a dead giveaway, look for a 4 barrel intake with a holley carb sitting on top. It was pretty easy to ID.
