got a free 351

[nine-teen91stxranger]

Anything free is good, Bro...as long as it does not cost you anything to get rid of it!!!! lol I had a buddy get a free 351W once...it ran great when he got it and then he had to pay someone to take it away one day...nobody wanted it!! He traded it and had to spend money to get the 351 off his back. This was back in '76. Back then, everybody wanted the 390 Hipo or a 429 or if you were lucky...the 427 side oiler...which I still have one brand new in a crate. It is not for sale. One day I will put it in the '67 Mustang Fastback I still have not put back together. Yea..one day!!!

you still have a brand new 427 side oiler!!? those are like 20k + used

i think im more excited about the pump than the engine lol. ill probably just keep the tranny, A/C pump and driveshaft then throw the engine on craigslist and here in the classifieds.

I always look at the coolant neck.

If it's going into the timing cover, it's a 351c/351m/400. The 351m/400 coolant neck area is taller than on the 351c. If it goes into the lower intake manifold, then you know it's a Windsor or something else. 351c/351m/400 are dry lower intakes.

well i might have already gotten rid of the 351. gonna trade it for an intake manifold and maybe some other stuff for the 460, depending on what kind of manifold and what type of stuff he comes up with.
