waketek516 10 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 If you saw my other thread you know that I've got a 1970 project I'll be starting this summer... I'm looking to put a 351w in the car, and wanted to know will any year motor work? I found some used ones locally in various conditions and from various years. I would be running a carb on it (no EFI or anything). Thanks for the help! -Tommy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rd49221 14 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 The 351 has the same motor mounts, etc. My car was originally a 302 and is now a stroked 351. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Windsor_engine#351W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Secz 26 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 I have a 351C in my Torino....My Mustang had a 302. This is my first experience with a 351C, so I'm not sure on reliability compared to the Windsor motors, but already like it better than my old 302. Runs like a sewing machine for an all original motor with 45k original miles on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
