1970 Ford Fairlane 500 - 408 Windsor - The Twister
|
Choosing A BlockA 351W is a taller version of the 289/302 block (9.5 inches versus 8.2 inches). This extra height allows for a half-inch longer stroke. This deck height difference makes the 351W wider than the 302 that's currently in the Fairlane, but it's the same depth. This means it will bolt right in, and because our new trans is a Hughes C4, we won't have to mess with the transmission mount or change the length of our driveshaft. The 1974-and-earlier castings are noticeably beefier than the '75-to-present castings, especially in the critical main-webbing area. The difference between a '74 and '75 casting is over 9 lbs of additional iron. We called AAMidwest and ordered a 351W block of early '70s vintage for $250. All it needs is some machine work and a coat of Ford blue paint. View Related Article
