I never owned anything with a 351W, but drove a number of Crown Victorias and E350s with that motor, VV, carb and EFI. The EFI motors were in late 80s vans and had fairly respectable power even when carrying a load. But the most impressive was a 351HO with four barrel in a clapped out 1985 model E350. After the first time I stepped on the gas, I thought I was driving a 460. Popped the dog house off later and saw the air cleaner with “351 4V HO.” I’ve sort of had my eye out for an affordable 1985 F150 or Bronco with the HO that was worth taking home ever since. Just haven’t found one meeting those criteria, at least when I had extra change.
I have replaced every 351W with a 12V Cummins and set up (power driven diesel) for 390hp/978T on a rear wheel Dyno in Oregon 6 years ago. My Ford E350 Aerocell Unicell Cutaway same thing, 12V Cummins. It's a 5.8L vs 5.9L I'm keeping my Ford Trucks till I die.
That motor should work quite well ! Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it to the No Name Nationals, but sometimes "life happens". Good luck with it all !
What will header or exhaust manifold be? I have nearly identical motor but in Cleveland guise. about 1/2 inch lift w/ older Crane roller rockers. 1-5/8" headers on my 71 Stang
@@nickthevanman9011 Nice. I used 3.50 gear and C-6 with 2500 stall converter and my trans went bad twice so this time I added a cooler. Makes sure you run a cooler.

Nice. 351W WAS an underrated engine. Not so much today with aftermarket parts availability.

Lookin good Nick…can’t wait to see how it does at the track💪🏻
Should make a very nice cruiser/puller. I would have chose a little later exhaust opening event but, it will be fine.

Glad you got it back man
Nice setup 👍
solid, well thought out plan!
Be sure to cut the divider on that intake down 3/8 of an inch or run a spacer to not lose any horses .
NICE!!!
just curious on the cam specs and who made it....

Better go lower in gearing; think 3.73s.
