What's it got? Other than a 351... I dogged one on the way home but he wasn't biting. Except for a few badges, and exhaust routing (sounded like a stock truck) what all does it boast?

The high flow inlet tube might have given him the edge, you better be careful who you pick on

naw, if it can run comfortably on 39lb injectors I'd eat it up


I don't know, that cast A356 sand cast intercooler system might have the edge

Wow, I just noticed the stroke on that thing. What kind of backwards engine is that?

trucks cant beat cars. duh


and you knew the 351 was loong gone goober.

almost all ford uses anymore is a 3v 4.6 SOHC or 4v DOHC 4.6.. or a 5.4, as far as their perforance engines go.

That is why fords mod motors make such crazy low end tq. But they die up top because with such small bores, they don't have room for big valves
