OK Weiand 7515 Single plane intake
Match stock head ports to the manifold ports. Go with bigger valves in the stock heads, and match the exhaust ports to the headers.

Ok the fella with the 351w made me an offer I couldn't refuse for a freshly rebuilt motor. He still claims its 10 to 1 because thats what the catalog that he order the pistons from said that were.

I know but a few hundred bucks for a freshly rebuilt motor. I can live with a lower compression. Does anybody know a way I can test it to see what it is? Also I'm assuming this is a 28 oz. balance motor is that right for a '77 351? One more ? with this cam .450 int lift, .474 exh lift 280 290 duration what intake would you all recommend?1984 CV tudor 351W, 4bbl, 5-speed best time in the 1/8 8.39 at 80 with 1.80 60ft time.

I assume the 280/290 duration figures are advertised duration? That's gonna be pretty wild for a 4000 pound car.

You CAN use 302 headers, but you will need to modify your existing exhaust.1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"

Run a 1" open spacer on top of that at all costs.....while they make a lot of power, they don't distribute the air/fuel charge evenly across all cylinders in stock form...the open spacer fixes that.Originally posted by Pesty351 View PostComment

I used (at Scott's recommendation) BBK 15110 (the coated 1511's), on my car, and was very pleased with the quality and fit. I went with the coated because I wanted them to look okay down the road. Also, make sure you buy some better gaskets (the ones included are garbage), and possibly some better hardware.**1976 Ford F-150 4WD: 360, 4 spd, 3.50s, factory A/C, 4" lift, Bilsteins, US Indy Mags, 35s Cruiser
