Spicing Up The F100's 351 Windsor With A Top End Kit - Truck Tech S5, E8

[@dexterplant778]

Budget build, $7500, coffee shot out my nose.

[@LetGaiaLive]

🤣🤣🤣

[@pauljanssen7594]

I totally agree with your comment a budget build was a few hundred bucks taken heads to the machine shop and getting the machine and buying an upper head gasket set with some new oil plugs wires feel the odds and ends

[@earlbrown]

No kidding. I'm building an alum headed 351W for my stock car conversion and I will have NO WHERE NEAR $7500 in it when I'm done. ..and that's an actual engine build with fresh bores, forged pistons, racing oil pan, etc... not a top end hack job on a worn out bottom end.

The 351 is a great platform. Lots of potential with some good parts. Love the Dentside too, probably the most classic, beautiful generation of Ford pickup.

[@Toolaholic7]

The 351M was not a good engine,bad crankshafts from the factory resulting bottom ends going bad.Ford has the worst interchange due to 6 month changes

[@crimsonstang]

@@Toolaholic7 we aren't talking about the 351M or 351C. This video is talking about the 351W.

[@sdvten]

Would have been nice if Ford offered the 351W from the factory in the 74' F-100. The 360 was the closest to the 351w ci wise. But the 360 made the same horsepower as the 302, though the 360 had more torque than the 302.

[@MissionRestomod]

Ford needs to bring back a modern 5.8 (351) pushrod engine. With a new cross bolted bottom end, forged internals, high flowing aluminum heads, and long runner intake it would rival the competition.

[@damianlindsey6177]

So, never heard of the 7.3 godzilla?

[@MissionRestomod]

@@damianlindsey6177 of course I have. But they won’t put it in the f150 so it will never be available in large numbers and will always be expensive.

[@onescaryapothiconboi7475]

Pushrod, 351 ci of displacement, large production numbers? Something tells me the EPA would never let that combo leave the ground.

[@MissionRestomod]

@@onescaryapothiconboi7475 Gm still has a 6.2 pushrod engine. Why wouldn’t they? They just have to meet average fuel economy numbers as a brand and be reported as “gas guzzler” which no consumer actually cares about.

Recently bought an ‘81 el Camino with a small block 305 in it. Been following your videos to how to restore it. Thanks for the help.

[@strawberrybarris407]

I'm doing an 88 mustang

[@MrRoman-lo6ih]

I just did to my 75 Ford E-150 shorty van. Updated the 351w with 4 barrel intake, air gap, single. New Edelbrock 1406 and refurbished Mickey Thompson Valve covers. I wish I had the money for cam, heads, and the other goodies. Hey, one of these days, right? lol Thanks for the video fellas

[@sargepent9815]

I'm pretty much doing this exact project on my 1977 Thunderbird. She originally had a 351w, and that engine was replaced at some point with a (period correct) engine built in 1979 according to cast numbers. Currently has already been bored .040 over at some point amd has newer mahle pistons in it, so I'm going to just use a ball hone to refresh the cross hatching and put new rings in. For heads, I'm going to use a set of Twisted Wedge aluminum heads, a Weiand dual plane intake, 650 brawler carb and a Howard's cam with .519 lift and 112 separation. I HAD to pull mine because the rear main was shot and I was losing a quart of oil every time I filled up from a pretty significant leak. Nice winter project

[@ssgpentland8241]

Took notes on the engine part. Got a recently acquired 1977 Thunderbird with the 351W in her and while she runs good, I know I can wake her up by removing the 70s vintage ford carb, egr restricted 2 barrel manifold and weak ignition and distributor.

[@johnbehneman1546]

[@1worldgaming18]

evans coolant will definitely not pull more heat out of your engine it will make it run hotter or in best case scenarios be around the same as normal coolant mix

[@Splagnate]

Multi-port fuel injection has been around since mid 80’s not the 90’s. Had it in my first car that was an 86 Camaro.

[@billnaquin9259]

I like the way it looks as is.. but lowering the truck with those ugly big wheels in the truck's almost touching the road.. despicable.. I guess my mind thinks old school looks better

[@retireddec04]

judging by the pictures it looks like they would have to bag the truck. Not my thing. Just look at the proportion of the wheels/tires and where the top of the tire would be. It would ruin the truck in my opinion.

[@sdvten]

You are not the only one. My 74' is stock height and plenty low as is. But I like to use it as a truck from time to time. Going to throw all kinds of money at it but won't refresh the motor the way it should be done.

[@brianmaynard7320]

I can't say the lowering of the truck improved ANYTHING. Too low. It's a truck ffs..

[@ThePaulv12]

[@robertbowen6610]

Bro I’m all about big tires and some stockish size rally wheels on a 2wd and some huge tires on stock wheels / 16.5 wheels and humvee tires 37s or 38s on the 85-95 f250s it always looks good to me

[@mikeowentaylor]

351w is an amazing platform, it's what the ls was built on.

[@CJColvin]

Yep you got it brother

[@DBSSTEELER]

They really should have done an overhaul and new pistons to get the compression up.

[@Heffelz8]

I don’t think that’s the intention. Between wanting to keep the cost low and allowing the engine to remain in the truck that they accomplished what they wanted. Sure they could have completely overhaul it but they also said it’s supposed to be a mild build.

[@tomwinkle1597]

I agree, rings and bearings are cheap. A little hone would freshen it up.

[@jfv65]

If your engine has a 4barrel carb with vacume operated secondaries maybe try to disable those secondaries? You would obviously have less power but the engine would use less fuel as well.

[@edwardhegarty750]

Between the 'old' engine having fresh paint on the exhaust manifolds not burnt off, and every accessory in brand new condition I think they took this apart once to prep for the episode. Taking the AC lines off without evacuating the system is another Romper Room no-no. Hand sanding the block deck? Let's just say these guys won't be touching my truck.

[@albertgaspar627]

yep, but they used to love boring engines without a torque plate either. in a pinch, one could fill the holes you want to keep clear with shaving cream to catch debris and if its metal shavings put a rare earth magnet in their path. but yeah its funny to talk about making sure you shave the deck perfect and overlook the debris in the shortblock. but hey if no prep stretch says who cares, that tells you what his engines look like.

It drives. runs and is inspected and registered as it is but it needs a lot of TLC. As I said it was gutted and rigged to just barely run.

I got a question what do you think about the 351m is it worth doing alot of mods to it or would it be better to run a different motor?

[@JohnGalt-vr3lx]

Look up Richard holdener on you tube. The 351m is similar in many ways to 351 cleavland. They can be made into powerful motors. However it is more expensive than doing a 351w. When i built one for my cousin and one for a friend in the past 4 years, both dynoed at around 400hp 400tq on a dyno. Not a "oh I added up what the manufacturers of the parts said dyno" I want to say 420ish hp and 435 lb ft tq. The stock heads limit flow which is why tq was higher than hp

[@joehudson3072]

Absolutely the 351 Cleveland and the modified it is an awesome engine for performance the early Cleveland's and the boss 351 was a Cleveland the heads were awesome I would almost call it the small block hemi bottom end did have some flaws though but here's another tidbit of information Cleveland heads would fit the Windsor block and that was the direction people going to go until the aftermarket made much better Windsor heads but the early Cleveland heads were amazing breathing small block heads
