factory hp ratings for 351w
The ever so long debate of parting out my 83GT has come to a halt. My friend said Id be stupid if I cut up a perfectly clean car. So the plan is to throw free parts into it and make it a daily driver. The car already has an 8.8,w/db and 4.10s. My friend said he would give me an 88 f150 EFI 5.8 for nothing. Im going to use that with the f150 wiring for now. What was the factory rating on those, just out of curiosity? Im going to be getting a LSC AOD for nothing, the wide ratio AOD. And drop everything in. Id go carbed on the 351, but I need to pass emissions. Does anybody want to throw out a number of what they think this car will do? 13s,14s, 15s? The car went 12s w/ a bulit 302. Im gonna throw a halfway decent exhaust, swap headers, cat hipe. Im going to be needing some stock parts, like fuel lines, throttle cable for EFI car, a heater box for a non ac car. stock hipe w/cats. So if you may have some of this stuff laying around and you want to sell it or donate it let me know. Thanks

I would guess it started life as a 275 hp motor and about 300 ft pounds of torque, through a power robbing AOD with gears . I would guess it would be a mild 14.6 car, at a dizmel 90 mph..
Mac Thats my guess, sorry man, I hope I'm wrong..
