[W.]

I’ve had several Fords with 302’s that I’d rather they’d have been 351W’s. Or Clevelands. But the Windsors were 302-size blocks, and runnin’ MF-ers. Whine...

Actually the 302 and 351w were very different motors. The 351 was taller and had a different firing order. A whole lot of things were different.

302 and 351 Windsor are the same block with different deck heights of exactly one inch. I have the Ford drawings. The Windsor is still the block of the performance pushrod crate engines.

That’s funny. My first thought when I saw the title of the thread was the 351 Windsor. I took my driver’s test in my dad’s 77 Thunderbird with a 351W. Beast of a car with a front end longer than most Euroweeny cars. Two people could lay on top of that hood with a blanket and “watch” the stars. It could run with a lot of my friend’s sports cars but had an interior you could live in.

Dad also had an Econoline van with the Windsor engine. That van was driven from Okc to Miami, San Francisco, Vegas, Colorado. It had over 250K miles before he finally sold it when my mom died. Those were great cars that were pretty easy to work on as well.

I've had 2 Rancheros, one ‘73 with a 351 C stock that I replaced w/a 351 W. Had another ‘78 w/a 351 W. Both ran real well but I have a ‘94 F150 w/a 5 liter(302)EFI in front of an Interceptor 4EO auto. It would out perform all the 351s. Over 200K on it and just last week took it out to punish it. It still shifts into high gear after the speedometer is against the peg...8^)
