What do you swap from a 302 to a 351?

What do you swap from a 302 to a 351?

That means that almost all parts swap between a 302 and a 351. This includes: Heads, cam, lifters, timing chain, timing chain cover, water pump, engine mounts, and all sorts of other stuff. The bellhousing bolt pattern is the same as a 302, so all trannies that bolt to a 302 will bolt to a 351.

What’s the difference between a 302 and 351 block?

The 351 block is very similar to the 302. That means that almost all parts swap between a 302 and a 351. This includes: Heads, cam, lifters, timing chain, timing chain cover, water pump, engine mounts, and all sorts of other stuff. The bellhousing bolt pattern is the same as a 302, so all trannies that bolt to a 302 will bolt to a 351.

What’s the difference between a 351 and a 331?

The deck height of the 351 is about 1.3″ taller than the 302-based 331. So you’ll need a different intake (if it’s efi – different fuel rails), and different headers. Heads, oil pans, valve covers, etc. will work.

Can a 5.0 HO be used on a 351W?

The 5.0 HO has a 50 oz. unbalance, which means you cannot use the flexplate/flywheel or the harmanic balancer off of an HO engine. You have to get the correct pieces from a dealer/junkyard. 3) The deck height is higher, which means you need a different intake, since the 351W intake is wider. A 5.0 Upper will bolt to a 351W lower.

Can a 351 C be used in a 351 W?

Just in case you did not know, a 351 c, 351 m, 400, 429 and 460 distributors all interchange. You can also use a 351 w distributor in any one of these engines or vice versa as long as you change the gear, as the gear is different on the 351 W. The 351 w uses the 289-302 style gear.

What kind of head flow did the Ford 351C have?

The answer was simple, the Cleveland family–and the 4V version more specifically–offered massive head flow. The 351C 4V motors, and even the smaller 1969 & 1970 Boss 302, offered head flow unmatched by any (regular) production small block Ford, Chevy, or Dodge heads of the period.

Can a 351 W be used with a MSD Dist?

Also if you are going to use an Edelbrock Victor Jr on your 351 w with an MSD dist. for a 351 w, it will not clear the intake. MSD sells a special dist. for this application and all it is is a dist. for a 351 c, 351 m, 400, 429, and 460 with a 289,302 351 w gear on it.

What’s the lift split on a Ford 351?

The Comp Cam offered a .584/.588 lift split, a 240/246-degree duration split and 110-degree LSA. The Edelbrock intake was actually designed for the smaller-port, aluminum Edelbrock heads, but worked well on the larger 4V heads.
