Is this engine any good?

Would a 351 fuel injection engine out of a 1993 Ford Econoline Conversion van be worth saving? Could it be used in fox at all after a rebuild??? Just wondering.

Well unless the thing is split down the middle, in my opinion everyhting is worth saving. Since it is a 93 I dont think the motor is roller, but can be made roller very easily. To put it in a fox you will need the conversion parts, but if your just debating on whether to keep it at all, I say save it for a rainy day. JMO though.

Keep it....it's a 351 Windsor engine. Any 351 windsor, roller or not has 49 cubic inches over a 302 and is easy to build up. That's my opinion.

If you don't want it I'll take it. LOL I pulled mine out of a -83 bronco that was rolled 4 times. motor & trans were still good everything else was scrap.
