Im trying to get a 94 351 block right now but the guy was responding and now he just kinda disappeared

Ya, i'm going to pick up a 1994 351 roller block out of a lightning myself on saturday

 

[Paul]

I have a 422.

How do you like it? any details on the motor? anything you would change about it? auto? stick? track times?

I'd like a 1st gen Lightning so i could run a stroked Windsor... 408 would do nicely i think.

I have a ............302. sorry. used to build them at a shop I worked at. well, help build, anyways, and learn some tricks that I promptly forgot over the years.

1. I like it fine.
2. It's a built 422 with tons of really expensive parts and ridiculous cylinder heads.
3. Stick. Autos are gayer than two dudes boning.
4. Not on the 422.

I used to daily drive a 418 windsor. Nothing beats lots of cubes and regoddamndiculous torque naturally aspirated.

I'm selling my 422 now. I'm going to focus on only one car. I have too many.

Paul.

above post makes me wanna build a 460BB for my fairlane. because I have the engine for $75 total, still running, and 500HP capable heads are $1800 away. and because I got the BB C6 trans for free. and a huge cammed big block is just cool. and just because.

Had a 418 in my coupe...street car. Had a 408 in our "street/strip" car.

I agree with Paul...can't beat the cubes. As for drawbacks....well, there aren't any. (except for bald rear tires and perma-grin on your face)

If i can get this person to PM me back i will have me a 94 351 to make a nice stroker 393 . To my experience they are roller ready from 94+

They are a 351 version of the 302/5.0l. in fact, I think they use the same roller cam and lifters.

Had a buddy with a 408W crate engine in a '67 coupe. 699bhp. It was niiiiiiiice.

 

[Mustangmaster77]

I'm trying to find a 351W right now :grin:

Stick. Autos are gayer than two dudes boning.

anyone have track times with a 408 ish in their sn95? I couldn't find many track vids of this set up

 

[Paul]

My old (very mild) 418 went 12.88 @ 111.8 mph in my '94 convertible. That was street tires, a 2.2 60' time, and 3680 pound race weight.

 

[302N20]

Thats it? yikes...did you have truck heads on it?
