What's wrong with this picture.
« on: January 14, 2017, 04:57:37 PM »
There's something glaringly wrong with this "rebuilt" 351C that really calls into question their expertise. You'll get a little laugh when you see it.  ;D

I'm no 351C expert, but I can't imagine that the carb pad is supposed to slant backwards.  Unless, of course, the INTAKE MANIFOLD is on backwards  ;D ;D ;D

Easy to fix---just turn the pistons the other way!

I get so tired of the "It's rebuilt!!!"  crowd.  I'd prefer a bucket of parts...

Well, just run the motor backwards.

For a 400, check with Tim Meyer @ http://www.tmeyerinc.com Tim has a lot of parts to make a 400 run well.  Primarily, you need pistons with a custom pin height to get compression up to reasonable levels.   Price Motorsports sells adapters for fitting 351C intakes to 400 engines (9.2 deck vs 10.3 deck).  Lots of pullers and mud trucks make big power with the 400.  I even have a virgin bore 400 block stashed in the shed.
