    Had a 351 Windsor in my 56 Ford f-100 back in the day. That is one sweet beauty I wish I had! Thanks for taking the time to produce this well done video! From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.

    Thanks for watching! 9Inch would be a good improvement, but after looking over the original one in the truck, it was fairly heavy built and had the gears ratio we wanted and gears looked great. So we left it in.
