Looks like I lucked out!, The 351 in the 95 Bronco was a Roller block...F4TE-6015-AA-14, pulled the heads and still has fresh cross hatching. I'm gonna finish tearing it down tommorow.

1" body lift, heard itd be a tight squeeze without a 2" but doable.

I thought about that too..the 351w im lookin at is already pretty much removed, just the motor mounts holding it on. Plus, I had plans for a 351w anyway and this one is cheap and easy to get.

I get that, my motors getting beyond limping though, im afraid any more an i risk a spun bearing, its already starting to knock.

Ok! Been a while since I've posted here!! I've got an idea about a budget 351w swap ...and I dont think its gonna suck. Heres the backstory, I'm stationed in Japan for at least another 2 years I'm home on leave due to a family emergency, but will have some free time(emergencys is over..), but I...

I stopped in!! But no Paul!!! Scandal!!.....its ok...everyone epse was really cool. Walked up to the cou ter and told em I just drove 1800 miles to buy a T-Shirt....they hooked me and the kids up!!

Well im 2 hours south of you headed north i think i can make a pit stop on my way!

Im comin up I5 today. Will be staying with patents in seattle for few weeks before i ship over to Japan for 4 years.....So im hauling a loaded 5x8 trailer and my family...Road Trip!

And Im sending this from a truck stop somewhere between pheonix amd L.A!!! Temps have yet to get above 200 with my A/C running....without it...i cwn expect 15 degrees cooler.

Im running a tired 302. Only mods are the performer rpm intake...bcb headers/exhaust and a lot of TLC... It has some minor blowby when hard accelerating but thats about it. I think you are little off about the pressure though...the system is pressurizing because of the heat not the speed of the...

My water pump was only maybe 1 year and a half old and it spent 7 months sitting due to a deployment. It was in good shape when I pulled it off so I decided to keep it in case a manufacturers defect crops up. I wish I had taken some detailed pictures of the flowkoolers impeller vs the stock...

I got in touch with the vendor. There weren't any off the 115's or 117's in the area, but told me when I get up to Washington to give him a call and he will mail me the right ones and ill send him the ones i have installed. I gave him 16.5" measurement from center of lower bolt to the lower side...

That is wayy better than what i got....but just off the top of my head...maybe get some aluminum 90 degree angle. and weld on tabs etc? I'm definatly gonna do what you did or something similar when i get the chance.

Ditch the stock waterpump and get the flowkooler waterpump WH sells. It will save you time and money trying to adapt a raptor radiator. I'm in Arizona at the moment and was fighting 230+ temps on my rig while towing a 5x8 trailer(and I couldnt even turn my A/C on...). I'm using a champion 3 core...

I'm running the 5.0 serpentine setup(explorer) and have a 3 core champion radiator....I'm using the stock fiber glass fan shroud...but the explorer front dress leaves the fan(with clutch) to short, blades just meet edge of the shroud on and don't go in.....so until I fab up a better option...i...
