Quoted by Unit 5302
"A redesigned 351? I'm not seeing how that is moving forward at all. Unless the engine is fitted with Cleveland style heads, they will be limited to below the DOHC heads' potential."
............................................
That's what I'm talking about. Could you imagine a DOHC 351? Any engine ever made had the potential to be better. Look how far the 302 went, look how far the Chevy 350 has come
Now Ford has the 4.6 as their pride and joy.
I was just saying the 351w could have been made into a real performer. AS much as I hate to say this but the mustang will NEVER be any competition to the vette with a 4.6
I'm not saying the 4.6 isn't impressive for how small it is but Ford could make a car to compete with the vette if they fixed all the flaws with the 351.
All 302's and 351's will require head work to make power, that goes without saying.
Ford had something going there with the Cleveland/Boss heads but stopped for some reason,probably for economical reasons.
The "Ultimate" windsor engine IMO would have Chevy heads on them!!
Hell, Ford is struggling to keep up with camaros/firebirds.
I was just trying to say that if Ford would bring the 351 out of the stone ages, they would have a n/a car to compete with the vettes instead of resorting to supercharged 4.6's like the Roush mustangs.
