Geez. I wish you lived closer. O I lived closer. I have a 302 and was thinking of upgrading to a 351. But I couldn't remember if yours was a windsor or a M. I live in Florida and I may be able to find a 351W roller cam block at a junk yard. 🤞
Hi Guys, good video's! Why did you decide to get a rebuilt engine from Texas versus taking you engine to a local shop for a refresh? Also not sure about the smog requirements in Utah but replacing that intake and adding a 4bbl carb will increase your torque and hp quite a bit. Keep up the good work!
Great question. I called every machine shop in a 150 mile radius, I was told the same thing by all of them: “I’m not taking new business, my shop is full of motors I don’t have time to get to.” One guy told me he’d put my motor at the top of the list if I would refer someone he could hire! 😱 I guess there’s just a worker shortage and it’s hitting the machine shops hard. 🤷🏼♂️ As for a new intake and carb, I need a whole bunch of people to buy some merch!!! All proceeds go right back into the build. I’ve got some cool new designs up now and more coming real soon. New video drops every Sunday at 10am Mountain Time.
I absolutely hate the intake gasket for the 351m. I’ve had to redo mine right after replacing because the rubber pieces that go on the “China walls” blew out
Take those end gaskets for the intake and chuck them as far as you can. They are useless. I just built up a bead of black RTV instead. Sealed up beautifully. Saves a lot of headaches and frustration.
My son and I enjoy watching the progress. We are restoring a ‘78 f150. We are possibly going the same route engine wise but we want to opt for the 400m. Question- what options and cam did you go with? Thanks, God bless!
Standard heads and an RV cam (mild lobe). Should give it a deeper roar and a little more breathing room when accelerating. There’s only so much you can do with the M base but it’s “good enough” for our purposes. FOR NOW! 😜
If you doant mind me asking , how much did that new 351m cost...I ask because I have a 77 f 150 4×4 engine runs ok but it had been sitting for 10 years and just got it running about two weeks ago
This was during the battle of 'Rona' - we paid about $2800 shipped to our driveway. It was more than budget for this project but I couldn't find a machine shop within 150 miles of me that was taking head work. I called them ALL! They couldn't hire help so were turning work away. Sad days - I hope that's all completely behind us now! Congrats on getting the old engine running!
Mabco Motors out of Tyler Texas. They turned this around in about 6 weeks and they originally said 3-4 months. (inside scoop..... we put the motor in TODAY!!! 😆)
Mabbco Motors out of Tyler Texas. Call them first to finalize a design, then place the order online for the best price. They were awesome to work with and delivered months ahead of what they initially quoted. They did keep insisting they couldn’t deliver to residential without a loading dock. I insisted a truck with a lift gate could be found somewhere to bring it to me. 🤷🏼♂️ Worked out that way. 😜 www.mabbcomotors.com/
@@troysgarage thanks! This helps out a ton. My 351w in my 93 F250, well i don't much like the previous owners did to the heads or the block. So im not looking to keep this engine or block or heads. Obviously like you guys i would keep the necessities.
@@troysgarage awesome man just picked one up, i been trying to get that old seal out of there how we’re you able to do it? i tried pressing it out and hammering it i think it’s in there real good lol
You can use a screwdriver like my son did in the video. You’ll be committed once you get so far. That will motivate you to get it out. Watch the video again if needed to be sure you are pressing and prying in the right direction. 👍🏼 You got this bro!!! 🙌🏼
How expensive was that engine? Mine was $7000 rebuilt .060 over with a roller valvetrain and custom flat top pistons. Lots of other goodies if you want to know.
@@troysgarage i spent way more than I intended to. First break in Comp flat tappet cam went flat in 25 minutes. Machine shop assembled engine without heads. Degreed, everyrhing. Then I went Howards Rattler roller cam with Boss 351 steel adjustable roller rockers from Comp. Howard's springs and Morel tie bar roller lifters. Balanced engine. ARP studs/ bolts where it counted. My stock Heads were completely re-done. Headers just came in nad looking for better heads. Thanks for the content.
Wow! Once you did it you went ALL IN! 😱 Glad you’re enjoying the content. Once it warms up I’ll be back on this and get it driving. Then it’s on to making it pretty.
I’m pull a 400 out of a ranger about to send it off to get cleaned to see if it’s good sat for 25 years. Where did you get your block? Was it good quality?
FYI. You can take the top part of the engine stand off, bolt it to the engine, then put it back in the engine stand. It makes it easier.
Where were you like a month ago?!?! 🤣 Just kidding I’ve seen people do that but in the heat of the battle totally spaced it. 🤷🏼♂️
Indi wagged get finger at me when you were pointing at that thing. "Leakin' like crazy!" ☝️
🤣 Love her sense of humor!!! 🥰

Lots of performance parts available for the 302 as well. But yeah ours is an M.

How is that crack holding up in the exhaust manifold? Generally you want to drill a small hole
So far so good. But gotta put in a lot more runtime.
I absolutely hate the intake gasket for the 351m. I’ve had to redo mine right after replacing because the rubber pieces that go on the “China walls” blew out
Yikes! I hope we glued them in well enough and torqued them in tight enough that won’t happen to ours. 😱

@@troysgarage that's pretty awesome right there. Can't wait to see a video of it running
You and me both Brother Miller, you and me both!!!! Hahaha
Hi Troy, Tavish! Curious as to where you ordered your engine from?

8:55 where can i find this seal and what’s it called? i have been trying to look every where and can’t find it
It’s the front crank shaft oil seal.

Is that a 351m...like the head line said?
It’s is. A rebuild with an RV cam.
How expensive was that engine? Mine was $7000 rebuilt .060 over with a roller valvetrain and custom flat top pistons. Lots of other goodies if you want to know.
This long block with a simple RV cam and stock heads was about $3600 shipped from TX to UT.

Paid $3200 shipped to my driveway
@@troysgarage not as bad as I thought it would be...
Break it 🫡
Sir, yes SIR!!!! Hahaha
