| − | === | + | ===351 Windsor=== |
| − | A | + | Not to be confused with the 351 Cleveland. There are no easily interchangeable parts (though with machining, a "Clevor" can be built, but that is for another write up). A basic Windsor engine design but with a higher deck height than the 302. |
| − | + | There is some discussion about early 351W engines being stronger due to higher nickel content. This writer has researched that and so far information found including a FoMoCo statement, it has turned out to be a myth though have still sought the earlier, '71-'73 engines, just in case it's true. | |
| − | + | The bore spacing and bore diameter between the 351 and the 302/5.0L remains the same at 4.38" and 4.00" respectively. A safe overbore is 0.030", but some blocks will allow more, but before boring beyond 0.030" the block should be sonic tested for thickness. | |
| − | + | There are two 351W deck heights, 1969-1970 produced engines are 9.480" with the 1971 through end of production in 1995 at 9.503". | |
| − | + | The crank is significantly different with the mains being 3.00" vs. the smaller Windsor engines being 2.25". The firing order is also different 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 (the same as a 5.0L HO) rather than the 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. See '''[[Ford firing orders]]'''. | |

The significant interchangeable parts with other small blocks from the Windsor family are the heads. | The significant interchangeable parts with other small blocks from the Windsor family are the heads. | ||

To use a 302 head on a 351, special intake gaskets are needed. Camshafts will interchange but the firing order will require that the distributor cap be wired based on the firing order that the camshaft was ground with. |

| − | + | ||
| − | + | A word of caution - Ford used whatever stock of parts was available, no matter what size engine family. A 1972 vehicle might just have a 1970 coded engine part. Additionally, factory service parts may be whatever is on the shelf, also not necessarily the current year. This means that before you commit money for an upgrade, that you know exactly what you have. | |
| + | In 1969, the 351 Windsor reached its' highest horsepower rating of 290 at 5800 RPM | ||
| + | ==Ford MEL Series== | ||
| + | In 1958 came the introduction of the MEL series engines. These were some of the largest and heaviest V8 engines Ford has ever built. | ||

| + | *bore and stroke of 4.29" x 3.70" inches | ||
| + | *Compression rations started at 10.5:1 but soon began to decline late in 1959 to 10:1 at 350 horsepower | ||
| + | *The higher horsepower versions of the 430 remained within its first year of production with horsepower of 365, 375 and 400 | ||
| + | *In 1959 the horsepower slowly began to be reduced, yet made 345 hp even with a slightly lower compression ratio of 10:1 | ||
| + | *In 1960, the 430 cubic inch used a milder camshaft, producing 315 horsepower | ||
| + | *In 1963 the 430 got an overhaul with new pistons and a four barrel carburetor, pushing compression to 10.1:1 and a horsepower rating of about 345 | ||
| + | *It could be found in the 1958 Lincoln Continental convertible, rated at 400 horsepower and nearly 500 foot pounds of torque | ||
| + | *Mercury also used the 430 cubic inch until 1960 | ||
| + | ===462 cubic inch=== | ||
| + | *By 1966 it replaced its predecessor, the 430 | ||
| + | *bore and stroke of 4.38 X 3.83 inches | ||
