I think Sledgehammer has done something similar with his AU.

When i was talking to chriis about the flash and stroking it he said the windsor would be the better way to go but it was a bit much for me it went over my head lol.

it is actualy cheeper to stoke a 351 than a 302. I have looked into it and so far im looking at about 3500 for a stroked 351 in the car and running fuel injection. Thats before i do the gearbox and driveline.

According to chris its pretty much a bolt in swap with eng mounts and gearbox mount not sure about efi but he said it was easy.
3500 is that for the kit or is that fitted kit? |

thats for the kit. Ill build it my self. You just need the lower injection manifold of the post 97 f trucks with the 351 in them and then your standard upper intake bolts on. All you need then is a flash tuner and you can run standard electronics.

cool sounds like a plan.
Tho i think ill stroke the 302 and have the same eng number etc so when it does get hit by cops it wont be a problem. the 351s are an older motor so for licence they need to approve efi emmision well over here anyway. Good luck with it mate and keep us posted |

the AU engine is a windsor so from that perspective it is bolt in. You might be able to use some of the injection components off a 351 Fseries (mid 90s these things pull like you wouldn't belive i drove a new cab chasis without tray and spun it off the mark in 3rd ) and i think you would need an edit to get it to run to its full potential also the BTR would need to be strengthened or it'll be spin clunk rev then tow truck lol

The emissions rules in the US are tougher than over here so hopefuly that shouldnt be a problem. If it is its near impposible to read the engine number on a windsor in an au anyway so it might have to be a registered 302. they look the same from the outside its just bigger on the inside. Hehe

Make sure if in a prang you get it towed home to change motors hopefully that will never happen.
Look forward to how it goes mate keep us updated if you go ahead with the plan. Dave |
