Hey Fellow Fordsters.
I am not highly technically knowledgeable with Carby V8's ...
I have currently a 302 which I am probably getting rid of, and hopefully tomorrow purchasing a 351 which was rebuilt 2000 km's ago...
I am not sure what parts were used in the rebuild, but I am assuming it should be a bit more power then standard, but not by much...
I am wanting a simple 350 Hp... not much to ask for really, And would like all the technical information, advice and estimated price costing for the gear I would most likely need.
I am guessing I need a new cam (obviously) Holley 600 or 650 (already have), good exhaust system and the usual basics... But when it comes to bits'n'pieces I don't know too much....
I believe the engine being rebuilt not long ago will handle the power (350 isn't much) and piston rings, forged pistons maybe? pulleys etc ....
I have been told if I got a cam regrind so it has more Lift and not more Duration that I'll have a more even power band, is this correct?
Once again, Any info would be appreciated, I'll try and get a pic of my car up soon too...
Thank -
Steve
