Does anyone know how or can move my post to 335 series engine area?
I have a 81 f250 4x4 w/the 351m. I use it for a dump truck. The motor was gutless and finally it spun a bearing.
I took the motor out, took it down to the block, had it bored 30 over and cleaned the block up.
Now its time to put it back together. The 351m 351w and 351c are the 335 series engine. It there a 400m too?
Everything i read is get a oe 400 crank and new 400 pistons. Everything else can be reused to a point. i would replace the cam shaft and all bearings i would think
The shop who did the bore purchased 8 SilvOlite 1160.030 pistons without rings??
Well im sure most or all of you know , you can not get a oe 400 "5m" crank these days anywhere. When im looking for a crank, does it need to be a ford 400 5m so it
will fit my 351m. I think that will change the stroke from 3.50" to 4.00" What about the cranks in the 351w and the 351c?
Oh, and im replacing the heads, screwed one of them up drilling a busted bolt ;(
I was thinking of just buying a crate engine but after reading reviews about any companies that build engines online is very disappointing.
All engine builders around here in Seattle are booked for months. Everyone is fixing there cars and not replacing.
Does anyone have any 351m recipes that work well for you.
This is add on info i found online while researching the 335 engines after posting this. Please chime in if these engines come easy to you.
Any info greatly appreciate. Im a plumber so if you have a questions, just ask.
Just found this. Will it work?
