so, i picked up another FREE 351w.....

should i make a poll for if ill ever get this bird running? :rollin:


i got it from a 93 f150 complete with accessories. it was a friend's truck that got totalled by a tree falling on it. it does need a full rebuild. as it made some noise and had low oil pressure.

another friend also gave me a core AOD for FREE. (tv cable wasnt hooked up after rebuild, and burned up)

YOU SUCK! LOL. I wish I could come up on free anything. I really really want to swap my motor out. I just sold my subs and a set of ponies and I have 400 somethin left that is realy to leave my hands im the name of speed but I doubt I will get any enjoyment out of this money. It will all go to bills and that . What are your plans for the set up? Are we going to have another 408 around here?

just a little update on the 351w....

i bought some NEW eBay(chinese) forged i-beam rods w/ ARP bolts, NEW speed-pro hyper .030" over pistons, NEW Powerbond SFI balancer, Scat SFI flexplate, FREE set of Canfield aluminum heads(that need some work), Vic Jr carb intake($100), and a NEW 292H Comp Cam hydro flat-tappet cam. i took all these parts to the machine shop and should have them back in a couple of weeks. if the stock crank i gave them winds up being bad, i may just sell the pistons i have and buy a 3.85" crank and .030 302 pistons for a 393ci stroker.

then it's all going in the '80 mustang coupe i bought for $100. :)

one of the spark plug threads has a pin hole allowing coolant to leak out.

I really do hate you. You might as well go 408 for the same price.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
