1978 351M Horsepower
 

How much horsepower did a 1978 351M make straight out of the factroy if anyone knows that would be great because im trying to figure out what kinda horsepower my 351M is putting out.

they wre around 175-180

thanks i was searching all over the net trying to find it but couldnt. You wouldnt happen to know any sites that sell complete 1978 beds would you?

thanks again

sure no problem.welcome to FTE

Sorry He is high.

The 351M handed out about 136 HP

The 400 was about 148 HP.

a 79 would be about the same wouldn't it? becaus i was wondering about the power output of that motor a well.

in '77 351m hp = 161 and 400 = 173

any one have torque numbers ? i am trying to justify putting a built high output
.030 over 5.0 w/ performer carb and intake , frpp roller B-cam 1.7 roller rockers,forged internals ..stock numbers on this motor was 225hp and 300ft/lbs
in fuel injected form

i cant get that site @ work it is proxy filter

i dont know about you but those old motors might not of had high numbers but man would they cook and work hard day after day!

77 effie.

Did this work ?
