Why not pull the upper unit off and install one from a Mustang or Crown Vic? The truck upper is just taller. Just my opinion....LOL.

I'd really like to do this swap but......I have a few questions. First off; from what I can tell, no one is making the parts to do it now. The guy over at RPS isn't making them anymore. And, if your making a custom hub, why can't you use the hub off of a 95 Mustang? I've got a bud who has a complete...

Nice video! Wish they would have video'd the results of that run they video'd! That car sounded awesome!

That new tube header design kinda reminds me of the old tri-y headers for the early 289's and 302's. I'm thinking that ne 5.0 would look good in an early model Ranger!

That would be something. Bring back the 5.0 in the form of a mod motor. I love the new Mustang, except for the tail. They screwed the pooch on that one badly! Just my opinion mind ya.

I bought a '90 model Lincoln with a roller 302 and the right AOD. They are cheap nowdays.
Hope this helps some.

Hey guys,
Didn't know if I was gonna be online much this next week, so, I thought I'd wish everyone here a "Merry Christmas and a safe "Happy New Year!

Hey guys,
Found a video of a 351C on Youtube. This guy has several video's of his 351C Ranger. That Cleveland sure does look good in engine bay!
Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzb2rdfD ... re=channel

C= Cleveland for the plant it was made in. Same for "W" = Windsor. Now as for which is a true BB or SB? 351w is a SB. I'd guess you could say the 351C is a BB. Who knows! This debate could go on for a while....LOL!

351 Clevelands use the small block bellhousings.
Now, the 351"M" along with the 400 both use the big block 429/460 bellhousing.
Hope this helps some.

Nice one Dave!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Try(big word there) not to eat to much!

The engine looks like a Cleveland. Reason I say that is because of the water pump short hose. I have had a few M motors and one Cleveland and they all had that short hose in-between the water pump and intake.

I honestly believe there is a difference between plugs. I once owned a '66 Ford F100 with a 351M in it. It had a Duraspark box on it and got around 11 to 12 mpg. I switched in some Splitfires and my mileage went up to almost 15 on the highway. It was such a big difference, I pulled them out, install...

If I remember right, both Holley and Demon have a blow thru carb. I think I saw it either in a Jegs book or at Ebay(where I tend to camp out looking for deals!)
Hope this helps some.

I'm working on mine. Glad I have a/c in the shop cause, its getting hot here in Texas already! :shock: Hoping by next weekend I can bust the newer engine off and hear it run! Can't wait to side-step the clutch and watch those BF's burn! :twisted: Chris, glad your stuff is treatable. I've lost to man...
