Are there really people out there that would make that trade? LMAO!

Yeah Rudy, with a deal like that it's probably already gone. :( :lol:

Deal
 

Probably too late :oops:

Holy crap!

I've been wanting a 305 badly! Maybe he'll take my 568 blown motor in trade!

That IS a blown UP 568 you'll trade for that 305 ? :P :P

maybe it's a 305 from a corvette

With a 3/4 'race' cam ?
305's only came with a crooked rod for a cam, didn't they ? :roll:

LOL!!! Yeah... that is pretty good. Although a 305 w/o a carb, intake, valve covers etc... seems fair for a BOAT ANCHOR.

whats scrap bringing per ton these days?

dose anyone want to trade my monte for there dragster? :idea: :idea:

you'll be getting a deal :roll:

Yeah...How about it Hammertime? I'll trade you my Nova with no motor trans wheels or tires for your whole outfit...lol

On second thought...you can have the POS wheels.

Man I have never seen anybody with so much hatred for anything.

Now that is funny... I remember all the quotes too!! LOL!! Hell, I don't think I will ever consider buying a certain manufacturers wheels due to Tod!! LOL!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

OK Seriously... is there a worse V8 ever made than a 305??? I mean, I would rather have a 307... or a 265 like in the tri-5's. Unless of course, it was a 305 "Corvette" motor with a 3/4 cam, balanced & blueprinted w/ "dual quads"... that would be different. LOL!!

Yeah they call it a 351w. IMO

DIRK---JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I LIKED YOU :cry: :cry:
I HAVE HAD SOME VERY NICE 351W's IN MY YOUNGER YEARS 8) 8) 8)

YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO BUILD THEM :wink: :wink:

dirka, I think you meant 351/400 m

NOW THAT WAS JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I got a 84 F350 with a 351w in it and I cant get it to go above 45 mph without dying. It has all the power on the world till it hits 45 mph. thats the only reason why I say that. :lol: :lol: Its sad when a 88 F250 with a 460 that has over 300,000 miles runs better than that POS

WOW Dirka, I could've swore that in one of your earlier posts that your truck was the "Greatest" truck out there. Or not?

Thats my 2005 F350

OK You got too many trucks. :oops:

I only have 5 trucks.

2 Chevies
3 Fords

Well at least you have two good ones in the fleet. :lol: :lol:

yeah that 88 F250 and 05 F350 are pretty good. :lol: :lol:

The Chevies are my toys. One is a 84 short bed 4x4 and the other is a 55 series one stepside

HUH????
maybe a 351M

Is that the other 351 besides the 351 Cleveland??

yep, the imfamous 351modified and the even worse 400modified, they were fords bastard step son.

:oops: :oops: :oops: my bad :oops: :oops: :oops:

DISCLAIMER:
I don't know anything about FORDS except the distributor is in the wrong spot.




A friend of mine in High School had a Ford 4X4 and he always said it had a "351 MODIFIED 400"

I always figured he was full of crap making stuff up.....So there really was such a turd? Next question HOW the hell can it be a 351 and a 400? :?


I guess I can start saying I have a 454 modified 540.
.

also the firing order isn't right :? :? :? :?

It's a 351 M. "M", NOT MODIFIED like many peopele call it. The M means the motor was made in Michigan. The 400 is just that a 400. BOTH ARE TURDS!! I had a good sounding 400 but the ports and intake runners are just too small to get good power out of 'em.
The best thing about a 351M or 400 is you can throw them in the river and put a 429 or 460 in it's place. :wink:

A long time ago I was a Frrrrrd guy. I do still like the late 70's 4 wheel drives.

Yeah cuz they had 2 351's. One was a 351Windsor and the other was a 351 Cleveland. To my knowledge the Windsor was a small block and the Cleveland was a big block.

Wrong again,the difference is they were made in Cleveland or Windsor Michigan,did you ever open the hood?

Ok first of all I said that was my knowledge Not fact. So before you go and open your mouth to try to degrade someone get your facts straight. It seems to me that the more you open your mouth the more stupid you look. IMO

I would not ever be ashamed to have a 351 "C"... a buddy had one in a Mustang that ran very hard... bone stock. You would have had to put money in anything else to make it run like that. I will say that I have had a few 360's in old 4wd Fords that were complete turds though... I do agree that the 400M is the stinkiest TURD ford put out like the 305 is Chevy's worst V8 I can think of.

Ever been shocked by a distributor while the car is running??? I have. One thing I like about Fords: I would rather get shocked in the front of the motor than get it in the back while the fan blade cuts into my guts & I am flailing around trying to get away....

Man, did I just have a major REDNECK moment back there or what????

I am goin to git bak to mi TV dinnir at mi singlewide... I can hear mama hallarin at me... gotta go

Oh and if this is true then why is it that you can put the Windsor heads on a 302 but you cant put the Cleveland heads on a 302??

Yeah you might want to get your facts straight before trying ot call someone out. Here is a post from another forum about the diff of the windsor and cleveland........

Cleveland is a good bit wider. Made as a 351 not an oversized 302. Lots of variants of the cleveland heads, not all manifolds are interchangeable
