Was told it was a 351m but looking at the valve cover bolts I'm now not sure. It's sitting in a 1959 f100 mated up to a C6 trans

 

I can't see it well enough to tell 100% but it could be 351W. Or a 302. The valve cover shape ( /==\ ) tells us it's one or the other. Look at the motor for these differences:

NOT an M motor for sure.

Is that a serpentine belt setup on it? If so, a later model which is a good thing, many times a real good thing roller cam and head wise.

 

Looks like a 302.

 

I'm pretty familiar with chrysler motors but these fords are greek to me lol. Thanks for the info!!! Gonna check tomorrow

 

yeah, that definitely looks like a 302.

 

 

Great news, the track boss will bolt up.

 

Lol, now that's looking at it in a positive way!

 

Not sure what you mean

 

As best I can tell, there is no Track Boss for the "Windsor" 302. There are many manifolds for that motor, if you want to modify your engine.

The Track Boss appears to be for C and 351W motors. No interchange on manifolds between those two or between either and the 302. The 302 has a tiny, narrow little manifold.

Intake Manifolds

 

looks like a late 70s early 80s plain jane 302,

 

I was implying the TMI Track Boss aftermarket block.

85e150six4mtod, I like the way you think, but I would have to run something really radical; like a fat runner Cross Boss' style on a 400, or tunnel ram
(think tunnel port 427 dual quad <picture below>)
with dual dominators. It would have to have Jesel shaft mounts, 1/2 inch pushrods, 4bolt & girdled main, and Chrysler or larger tappets.

 

I got the casting number off the intake. It's a 351w

 

Thanks for the info!

 

so its a 351w. cool.
