I know that the 351 that I have in my stang is a 9.5 deck height and it is a 74 block. Thanks for the correction PKRWUD. Glad to see you back on the boards.

Bro, I'm not trying to correct anybody, let alone you.
I was just trying to clarify the possibilities for this guy.
I try and stop by when I can. I just finished upgrading the software we use over at RHC, and I needed to get away for a bit. lol.
The piston pin in the 351W piston is aprox. .140" higher than in the 302 piston.
I'm not sure when the 351W went roller. I know that all 5.0L blocks from '88 on are roller ready. The trucks didn't go roller until '92, I believe, but the blocks were made in Cleveland with the rest of the 5.0's, and are all the same design. Since the 351W and the 5.0L were never made at the same plant, I can't say if the same timeline holds true for the 351W. BTW, why do people still call the 302 a Windsor? That's always bugged me. lol.
