Anyone put a 351W in a FOX? What headers will fit? kennyg

 

BBK make headers for a 351 swap. Part #1511 shorty and #1569 long tube. I'm sure others make them also.

 

I know Kooks headers makes a set for a 460 that has 4 seperate pipes going into a single collector that you can install without removing the steering rod and dont have to make any "adjustments" to the frame or headers themselves.

 

Thats a pretty common swap, I beleive at one point FRPP sold a swap kit as well (accesory brackets, oil pan, ect).

 

http://www.ddautospec.com/products_e...wap.html#jump1 these guys have multiple kits

 

Their basic kit with mounts, pan, and headers is $430. Not too bad. Thanks for the info. Whats the HP gain with long tube headers vs shorties? kennyg

 

I would think top end plus 25-30hp but low end might be less so than shorties, based on the 05's comparisons

 

That is compared to stock manifolds btw

 

the swap shouldn't be too bad, the problems come into play with the cleveland 351 block

 

They offer a kit for the clevland as well.

 

I imagine they do, I just would think that swapping in a windsor would be easier than a cleveland due to the deck width

 

Yeah it might be tight but I'd rather have a clevland over a Windsor anyday.

 

I'd go for a Clevor myself, you get the goodness of the windsor block with the awesomeness of a canted valve cylinderhead.

I'm not a fan of the stock Ford cleveland heads, but the aftermarket has produced some excellent stuff. Then again even the in-line valve stuff flows a stupid amount of air (AFR has a big port cylinderhead that flows 320 cfm on a 4-1/8" bore) the latter of which opens up alot of intake manifold choices in both carb and injection.

 

Could get some boss351/351 NASCAR heads. Should add some nasty airflow.
