They are pretty reliable motor. They were first used back in 69 in cars then later in the trucks starting around 81/82. The bigger issues i have heard of seem to be with the ones of the late 80s era with MAP Speed Density computers rather than the later MAF computers. Most the issues were sensors and wire related. Just keep the maintenance up, take care of them, and they are a long running motor. Its from the same motor family as the 302/289 and the older 260/221s. Its a great motor, and what i am swapping into my into my 84 4runner right now. :cool:

I've had a few in the past. An 83 F150 on propane and an 85 "Alberta Special" explorer F150 with the 351HO. Great engine, new intake, cam and timing chain and gear set really wakes them up.

I have an 351w in my 83 F150. When I bought it it had an Edelbrock intake on it. I pulled the intake off to replace the lifters and pushrods and notice that the intake does not have a matching opening for the rear water jacket on the head. Is this normal? The intake is a performer 351w.

Thanks, Tom

I have an '84 with the 351w in it. Workin on the rebuild right now. I put a melling hv oil pump in it and noticed that the pan doesn't sit flat because of the pump. Anyone have any time efficient suggestions for modifying the pan?

Something's not right with the install of the oil pump. The high volume won't be different in size the internals are different.

are you kidding me??? obviously you arent understanding the fact of something aint right.. theres no reason a correct oil pump would require a modification to the oil pan...


and you do realize that now you'll need a 2nd drain plug for that "addon" to the pan..
