    351W ?

    we're rebuilding a 351W HD out of a 95 F250, and was woundering if there's anything different in this engine compaired to other 351's?

    we did find out it takes metric rings, and the oil pan gasket for a 96 explorer 302 is off by 1 hole.

    anything else?

    The block should be an F4TE casting, which will accept roller lifters, so that's a good thing if you want to use a roller cam.

      yes it is a F4TE block, and it does have the roller cam and lifters, just curious if the gaskets are the same as any 351, i do know that these mitric rings don't come to cheap.

          I recently heard you can use standard rings as a substitue, but I dont know how true that is.

            nope, standard rings don't fit in the grooves, standards are to big, that's what we bought first and had to take back.

              Very nice! Are you keeping it EFI or going to carb?

                  I think all the Ford smallblocks went to metric rings sometime in the early 1990s, maybe 94? If you change the pistons you can put standards in there.

                    I'm looking at the parts catalog right now....if the regular set doesn't work, you have the metric ring set.

                    E458-K, moly set, $104.99 retail, or $71.90 my cost plus shipping.

                      we bought the complete re-ring kit from summit for $195.00, it even came with main bearing, and around here they were wanting $114 just for the rings.
