What kind of crankshaft does a 351 Windsor have?
What kind of crankshaft does a 351 Windsor have?
The 351 Windsor’s cast-iron crankshaft has a 3.500-inch stroke with 3.000- inch main journals and a 3M in the forward-most counterweight/journal. A forged steel crankshaft was never factory installed in the 351W. And Ford’s 351W crankshaft story is much the same as I just told you with the 302 2M crankshaft.
What’s the difference between a 351 and a 302?
This is needed due to the 351 being much wider than the 302. Due to my 302 being from an 87 and my 351 being from a 90’s F150, I had to jimmy up my 302 bracket to work. The reason that I did that is because of my A/C pump. It bolts up completely differently than the bracket with the engine came with (look at pic below).
Can a 302 engine be swapped for a V8?
If you are swapping from an I6, I think it’s the same thing as the points given up above with the 302. But you will also need to get V8 motor mounts to swap in place of your I6 mounts. There is also allot of re-wiring to do if you choose to use the original wire harness.
