Hello everyone im new here and new to fords always been kina a chevy guy ha but I love this car. I just had a few questions regarding this 351w. Im not looking at crazy power but I do wanna wake it up a bit any suggestions on a cam, intake possibly heads? I plan on leaving the car as factory as I can but more power would be nice thank you in advance!
P.s anyone know where I can get replacement parts for my t_tops?? Mostly just weather stripping and what not
A '79 is pre Fox cars, but let's see.....A 351W engine....Bolt on some aftermarket aluminum heads or even a set of GT-40 iron heads. A good cam, and a new intake with a 4bbl carb. Stock Birds all had 2 bbl carbs. Also, a set of headers and a good exhaust. Gears are always a great place to start. Those had 2.73 gears. A set of better gears in the rear will help wake the car up. That's a lot of mass to move. T-Tops? Hmmmmmm. I'd start with Ebay and go from there. They are hard to find.
