So, I bit the bullet and bought a 351W from a 1996 Ford E150 Van from a local salvage yard. The thing was COVERED! in grease and they said it wasn't running. I wanted the roller block EFI, and this seemed like a good enough deal here in the Los Angeles area.
The goal is to transform it into a 393W with EFI.
The engine in the back of my Tacoma:
Note to self, need to buy an engine stand...
Yep, its a roller:
Cylinders look pretty good, but they will be bored and honed anyway.
They measured out at 4.010", so they must have honed it before; hopefully they left the bottom end alone:
For good measure, I bought a GT40 lower intake off ebay:
Anybody looking for any of the bolt ons that are to come off? Otherwise, they will go in the trash...
More to come...
