Bad @ss 351w combo. need help
 

I Really need cam help
I would like to build a BAD @SS N/A 351windsor & want ideas. It will be a
daily driver. It Will be fuel injected & have a roller cam.
A Combo i like is:
351w Stock Short block
stock 5.0 fuel lines
trick flow twisted wedge heads
trick flow "351" intake
24lb injectors
pro-m 77mm mass air
trick flow 1.6 Rocker arms
crane hi-6 ignition & ps-91 coil
190lph pump & AFPR
Stock 5.0 t-5 (when she blows, probably a Termec TKO)
bbk 70mm t-body & egr
3.55 or 3.73 gears
drop engine mounts (So It Fits under the stock hood. I Love Sleepers!)
new flywheel
new distributor
new (or used) oil pan
I DONT KNOW WHAT CAM WOULD SUIT THIS COMBO!!!
I dont want to cut the pistons.

I would apprecieate it if you could help me on a cam.
thanks!

Future Plans Call For A 351 Windsor

Well I am not sure what cam you should use. I don know that it is a lot harder to be able to build a 351 compared to a 302. My suggestion would be a 347 stroker. There are several things I just don't like about 351's. I am planning on the stroker update soon.

Crane has a good selection of retrofit roller cams (if you don't have a 94 or newer roller block) check www.cranecams.com they're good with Ford cams, too. Look at their descriptions - that will tell you operating characteristics. I'm sure you can also contact them & ask. You might have a problem with the pistons, though. At the VERY least, ALWAYS mock it up and check w/clay. I would suspect you're not going to do much for cam w/o doing something w/pistons. If you want a "ba" engine, definitely go the R heads. 20 more hp & torque than street heads even w/relatively mild cam. Also, they match the port flow of the intake better - the intake flows 310, the street heads something like 260 or so and the R's somewhere at or close to 300.

Also, they match the port flow of the intake better - the intake flows 310, the street heads something like 260 or so and the R's somewhere at or close to 300. AFter all this - I've got an article that tested both street & R heads on a street 351 w/Crane retro roller 220 @ 050 & only 498. Used modified 400 rods for better rod/stroke ratio, & Yates style JE pistons that had valve reliefs that matched the comb chamber shape for good quench & efficient combustion. Ran Performer efi w/custom WOT chip - trifk flow intake not yet available. All parts listed in article. Said could have used bigger cam w/R heads to do best output. Ran 11-1cr, ran best at only 32 advance (efficient combustion) on 87 octane (no misprint) and with the R's put out 450 torque at 4000 & 400 hp at 5000. That could probably go up 15 or more w/bigger cam. I've got article scanned if you'd like. I'm going to build one. macx@clas.net if you want, mention what you're after. 2 transmissions so I don't overload your mailbox.

macx, could you send me that article on the 351 with 400hp to beallur@axion.net, Im ot sure if you got the e-mail

I'm new to here but not to Mustangs. I run almost what you want. Induction is the only diff. Check out users rides, isno302
Hope that helps you, Reggie

What is it you don't like about 351's?? The are more powerful than a 302/306/347 and put out more torque. Plus, the main caps are much stronger. Go WITH THE 351!! The only downside is weight.

I agree with stroker 393 about the 351.My '82 Gt used to have a balanced and blueprinted 302 with early 302 heads machined to accept 202/160 chevy valves,port work,screw in studs, Compcam with 292 duration and .535 lift, shorty headers and flowmaster exhaust system,Holly 650 carb and forged 10:1 pistons. I spent about $3000 total. After I installed a mild 351W I saw a night and day difference in power with the 351. Remember, torque is what actually moves the car down the track...not HP which is a byproduct of torque.
Enough of the science lesson for now...bottom line is I will never put a 302 back into that car. When it is time for another engine in my '88 GT it will also get a 351.
Just my 2 cents
