Thanks for sharing that article. Pretty cool. That's my kind of play time. I want to go back out to the garage and start working on my old 351W now lol. Is it winter yet :)

I would say they broke it themselves more than it gave up the ghost. They admitted they were doing something stupid. I wish the 351 was a simple drop and swap.

A 351 swap is very straight forward, parts are readily available.

I realize that, but then I can't use my $500 headers and I would have to buy parts. I remember the good ole days when a 350 was a direct drop and swap for a 305, all you needed was a new oil filter, lol.

Nice article.
I remember when quite a number of guys were making 800+ whp with stock 351W shorts and turbo setups back in the turbomustang forums days. So this MM&FF article comes as no surprise, to me.
