can anyone help me to id a motor a bought i have a 289W in my Australian 67 fairlane and thought that i had bought a 302W i know it is a windsor but cant tell if it is a 351W is there any easy way of identifying these two motors or can you recommend any sites that give these types of info and great  the spark plug thread is larger than my 289 ...

If you get the right pistons it will work.  Off the top of my head I don't know of any pistons that will work in that combo.  351c pistons are slightly taller than the 302 piston, and may work with a 3'' stroke.  For a 3.5'' stroke you'll probably have to contact JE or Ross and see about having a set of pistons made.Also if you have ...

 Gday, was just seeking some help with my Moms 71 XA Coupe, was running a little rough, had a poke around under the bonnet, and found a broken (metal) hose, i'm not quite sure whether that is the problem or not, but i can't seem to find what it connects to. If anyone could help us out, i'd be stoked. I've enclosed a pic, not the best but it ...

I have a 302 in a CJ7. I was looking at some crate engines and seen that a 351W was just a few bucks more than replacing the early 70's 302. (D1MZ). Is that a e-z swap or am I going to run into bracket and mount issues. On a budget and don't want to spend the extra bucks just to have spend more on modifications or new brackets. I know the 351W is ...

Hi im installing a set of new smeding full roller rockers to my 1971 302w but there seems to be a hight problem with the rockers bottoming out on the posts requiring a full 1/4'' longer push rod and not a very happy valve geometry. Is it comin practice to mill down the rocker mounts on this type of head as a friend has sugjested, and is there a ...

I'm going to get a used Harmonic Balancer off the net and my only question is:Does it matter if the new HB is from a 351w with EFI or not?My truck DOES NOT have EFI!'83 F150 with 351W.   Thanks for your Responses!   You guys have helped alot!

After 209000 miles the main bearings on my 1987 F-150 are refusing to hold oil pressure.  They're worn to the copper, and the cam doesn't look much better from the view underneath. The engine is rated a 185 hp (1–5–4–2–6–3–7-8 firing order), uses a large, two-piece, cast aluminum manifold with a speed-density based EFI system. From what I ...

guys, I desperately need some tech assistance.  I volunteered my labor to help a friend, and have ended up in a tight spot.  He has a 1994 F150 and his engine went bad.  He found a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis with low miles and I switched engines for him. I swapped everything over, the oil pan, new oil pump, valve covers, intake, ...

302truck:For horse power gains I was thinking more of the throtle body and injectors. You are gonna see little to no gain with those items on a stock motor.  In fact larger injectors will require an ECM reflash, and possibly a mass air flow system.  For the $500 you're gonna spend on those items you may be better off putting the ...
