Thats what I was thinking, just from the fact that its a '77. 390 hp is a pipe dream, me thinks.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

The '79 351, at least, was rated at 8.3:1 compression and 140hp with a two-barrel 2150, tiny cam, and 2" single exhaust. The four-barrel and bigger cam would be a big help on this one ... it actually Desktop Dynoes at over 200hp (and a disappointing 330 lb-ft) if one assumes 8.3 compression and flow characteristics similar to E7 heads, which is probably being a bit optimistic.
By way of comparison, Greg's/my 351 may make as much as 400 lb-ft at low RPM.Last edited by 1987cp; 09-29-2008, 11:06 AM.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Ask him how he knows.
Are the pistons flat top? If not, what is the dish or dome? Wat size are the combustion chambers on the heads? You can figure out static compression ratio fairly easily...**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

The combustion chambers do look huge on those heads...1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"

Check the pics, those are stock-ish dished pistons. And dunno about D7 heads, but D8 chambers are canyons.
Also, even assuming 11:1 compression, E7 flow rates, and completely unrestricted exhaust, it still Desktop Dynoes at barely 300hp, not the 390 he claims.Last edited by 1987cp; 09-30-2008, 03:50 PM.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

He told me that thats what the machine shop who built it said. Doesn't matter anymore anyway the price has gone up more than I was willing to pay and the reserve isn't even hit yet.
The search continues.1984 CV tudor 351W, 4bbl, 5-speed best time in the 1/8 8.39 at 80 with 1.80 60ft time.

Airman, you should just find a 351 shortblock, and rebuild it yourself. Find a good set of heads on CL or the like, and build the motor YOU want.1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"

Still might be interesting to interrogate the guy on what's been done in terms of porting and milling of the cylinder heads ... since that's the only way it could do what he claims.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Regardless of what you do to those heads, I would think it'd be darn near impossible to even approach 10:1 with those dished pistons. I'm thinking of taking one of those pistons and building a guest room in the dish...
