I have done extensive mods to one of these dual port manifolds and it works quite well. I modded it to take fuel injectors, cut back the dividers at the ports, milled out the plenum to the level of the upper plenum and put a set of throttle blades between the upper and lower plenums. Do you have a email or other means that I can send you a picture?
Bolt on a properly calibrated mechanical or electronic Qjet matched to your vehicle, a 14057053 aluminum intake, and a pair of shorty headers, and you are good for at least 260 hp /300 FP torque without cracking the engine open.
Ford 351 Windsor. Historically an underrated engine. Ford made them available in a variety of production vehicles for nearly thirty years for a reason...
You shouldve put 351 cleveland 2 barrel heads on it. They have large beautiful ports. Use to do it all the time back before there were aluminum heads and performace heads.
@@johnwilburn the 4.9 efi is low mile and fairly healthy. Probably still makes it's advertised 145hp and 260ftlbs at the crank before accessories. The 351 conservatively should make around 350hp at the crank before accessories and 400ftlbs. And I have a new C6 to replace the old C6 that's been rebuilt with good parts and a transgo valve body kit, and it has the performance governor in it for 5000rpm wide open throttle shifts. Id hope to be able to cut 2 full seconds off at least. With a gear change maybe more.
That 650 DP should work very well with your combination of parts. If you were putting it in a lightweight Mustang, I would say a 750 DP would be slightly better.
@@sbcperformance413 Yeah I went with a 650 to aid in Venturi velocity and booster signal in this heavy vehicle for response and a little extra snap out of the hole. In a mustang id absolutely have a 750 on it.
I have replaced every 351W with a 12V Cummins and set up (power driven diesel) for 390hp/978T on a rear wheel Dyno in Oregon 6 years ago. My Ford E350 Aerocell Unicell Cutaway same thing, 12V Cummins. It's a 5.8L vs 5.9L I'm keeping my Ford Trucks till I die.
