Yes I was waiting and did you achieve the horsepower you were looking for

In 2005 I bought an F100 from a guy in Texas for $7K + shipping, looks identical to your 74. Then l bought a stroked Keith Craft 421 short-block that made 618 hp and 548 ft.lb. Then added a complete 4-link system, the design of which, I was fortunate to get from Art Morrison.

Lol, the new guy standing inside the engine bay and putting head covers.

Didn’t know We-man started building engines.

Just adding a fresh set of bearings and flat top pistons would have made a TON of difference in power.

Cool episode. I like it. With that being said , modern media is most chevy or dodge as far as domestic goes . He'll we can't even get a dedicated ford episode without something else popping up. This episode had that 08 Silverado, I know you guys do adds to pay bills but damn man . Ford guys/gals are often disappointed.

This is a awesome how to stage 1 truck

I think I would have done a better job cleaning the timing cover and the old fuel pump. The inside of the cover looked pretty bad and the pump was still grimy

My first engine build was 351W back in the early 80s. 👍👍

Absolutely love what you have done with the truck. One thing I was trying to remember on a 351, wasn't a couple of the head bolts actually going into water jackets and need to have sealant applied to them?

@michaeltaylor5451

Yeah, pulled the lower intake off my '95 F250 with the 5.8 and the fore-most bolts stayed in the heads as I loosened them. Don't know what Ford engineers were thinking with that design. The option was to have the heads redrilled and heli-coiled or go aftermarket. Those bolts rust-welded themselves in place, there was no saving them. I have a feeling the water pump cover is going to give me the same type of grief.

Good to see LT back!

I had an 86 F150 with the 351w in high school. It made what I considered good power with the "new" reman engine we put in it, with those sort of upgrades id have never had any tires and would probably have been in trouble lol

Was a nice build I would have added a good quality stroker kit to say 393 or 408 and bumped to the compression a bit to finish it off would make a stout little windsor.

Why use a flat tappet when a hydraulic roller give a lot more power

if u know u know ..heads = power

I agree with some comment pistons and cleaning old parts. Don't know, would an electric fuel pump be better than stock? Can someone answer plz

Why not go full roller cam? They make a retro mod kit that ditches the flat tappet lifters for rollers. Seen serious issues with after market flat tappet lifters lately and for not that much difference in cost, you can eliminate that problem as well as be able to run a much more aggressive cam

This LS Chevy is a good motor in any Chevy Vehicle.That is why Ford had to create the 5.0 Coyote. If you are going to engine swap out that in there and you will have a beast 380 to 500 hp. All depends on how you set up the ECU programming. Plus it's way lighter than in old iron block.

It's been awhile since this video came out where in the world did you get the idea to point the number one cylinder to the back of the engine. The number one cylinder is on the back of the engine. Even though Ford doesn't know how to number their cylinders, you'll always point the rotor towards the number one cylinder. But I've only been working on cars since 1964. I've never seen anybody fail to do that. The only time that changes is on a Chrysler product where they are smart enough to actually design the distributor to only go either in Phase or out of phase by 180°. I have never watched any of these people on KZread, nobody, show how to phase a distributor that slightly out of phase. And there is a procedure for that. And everybody makes too big a deal out of a little bit of dry rot on tires. Pray some 303 protectant on it, even on the tread let it dry overnight and leave it the hell alone. If you think they're a bit dry do a second application.

AH YEAH! Another 351w!

Wow, an F-100, and you could put a snow plow on it, now Ya need a F-350 piece of JUNK!!

Good luck 👍

A 106° centerline isnt a cam for a heavy vehicle like a truck!!

2 bolt or 4 bolt main?

Hold up wait a minute....I just did what you did but mines is bored 40 over and not elder but equivalent...and I'm running a 600 elder and you read forms and they say 700- 750 to much 650 perfect...some one pls ?? Help me understand... because I was thinking a 700 would wake it up a little

They ain't all there are they.

What’s the point of degreeing a cam when using non-adjustable cam drive? You’re going to tune for max power regardless of the timing location right?

Soooo they doing the top or bottom end lol

You didn’t even check the pushrod lengths wtf???

Na, you can get 400hp out of a 351w with bolt on parts, at the crank! Heads, cam, and intake, just like any other engine! Start with heads and intake. Then cam and carb! Ran cheap Windsors for years! You cam get 400hp at the crank with a 306, for a while!😂😂

I would be surprised if you got 400hp at the crank with that compression ratio those parts and that particular Ford engine. Which may be why we didn't see any dyno numbers. The 351 Windsor is a reliable enough light truck or base car engine in it's day. Getting one to make a bunch of hp is difficult BECAUSE among other things the bottom end. And the top end. What your bujld may have accomplished is possibly 325 hp at the crank and around 250 260 at the wheels. Almost ANY other small block engine in this displacement range makes more power easier than the 351Windsor . Frankly I'd rather start with a 300 Cid inclined 6 Ford . Or a stroker 302 Windsor . Or a 351 Cleveland 2 or 4 bbl engine. Or a SBC OR a 360 Chrysler. Or a 360 FE OR 352 FE.

@danmallery9142

You must have had some bad experiences with 351s. I think 375-400 is a reasonable goal with setup. They aren't going for max hp here anyway. Seems like they are going for something more streetable. Also, you haven't seen dyno runs because they haven't gotten to that point in the series yet. Making power with a 351 is easy because the stock heads are so bad a top end with a reasonable cam makes a ton more power than stock. Heck, check out Richard Holdner's junk yard dyno runs. He pulled a junkyard 351 and put on heads, cam, intake and made over 450. His cam was a lot wilder and I think it might have been a roller but probably wasn't worth 50 HP. Funny you mentioned you would rather do a stroked 302. A 302 is essentially a higher deck height 351 with a much weaker block so whatever shortcomings a 351 has, a 302 has them and the bottom end can handle about 250 less HP.
