Default 351 build up

I have a 351w block looking to get approx 400hp for my 93 Bronco any advice? Current motor is 302 W/ twin 65mm throttle bodies. I believe the 351w is a 79'. I want to go w/ fuel injection. Will the fuel injection system I have work?

I'm told by ford enthusiast that 302 intake will bolt up to 351w so new concerns are: will I need new computer and hp chip, different sensors to make it run right?

A 302 EFI LOWER manifold WILL NOT bolt on to a 351. A 302 EFI Upper should bolt on to a 351 lower manifold. No 302 manifold will bolt on to a 351 without some spacers.

Fastronald is absolutely correct! No 289/302 intake will bolt to a 351w because the block of a 351 has a taller deck height, thus making the intake on a 289/302 not fit without the use of spacer plates. If I were you... Id go with a nice 4 barrel carb on that 351.. and with some mods and aftermarket parts.... you should have no problem getting 400HP out of it. A little head work, a good cam, and an aftermarket intake, and some good 9.0-1 / 9.5-1 compression pistons.. should give you what your looking for.


All the best...

Tim
