351 into an EB conversion?

[slickef]

has anyone put a 351 into a EB??? is this conversion easy or is there a lot of work to it? i have a 93 eb station wagon that my dad wants to convert into a drag car, i am able to pick up a running 351 and gear box for $1000, can anyone help?

[EBFalcs]

is the wagon a six or eight at the moment

[slickef]

good ole six

i'd send a pm to racecraft and eav8.... they've both done 351 into ea conversions, and should be able to help you out

[EBFalcs]

it will be a bit harder then. but i got a street fords mag with a 351 EB XR8 in it, and because the 302 is the same block and all that as the 351 it slots straight in with all manifolds, (i'm pretty sure that's what the article said) so if you get an XR8 loom and computer it should all be sweet. even easier if you carby the motor

[LUXO_8]

ebfalcs.....the 302 from an EB is a windsor.

it is not the same block as a 302 or 351 cleveland

it is exactly the same deal to convert a 6 cyl or V8 eb to clevo

[slickef]

its a 351 clevo carby fed, will be ripping all electrics out of it as nothing but light and ignition will be needed

1 question is it going to be used on the road

if so you wont be able to use a carby if not go for it

[slickef]

it will be strictly for strip use

[Jason[98.EL]]

do it then if its only going to be used on the strip you can do what ya want without the road legals coming into play

1 thing though is if it gets into a certain time bracket on the strip you need to comply with a few racing specs

there are a few good sites to look at but im not sure of the exact site addys but i will look them up for you if you want but im sure that if you did a search for drag racing in australia you will find all the info you require

hope this helps

i race my ef now, so yeah i know all the mods that need to be done and all the restrictions on times

[castek]

keep us updated, sounds like a good idea. i was gonna do something similar. i was going to buy a injected 5litre windsor and through 351 internals.

[mcflux]

1tufel, you can't do that. 302Ws will only take up to a 347ci stroke & bore. As for the rotating assembly, I'm unsure whether a 302C's rotating assembly is the same as a 302W or not.

[BLSTIC]

Ghia5L, it wouldnt be. Bore and stroke may be the same, but isnt the windsor a 60 degree V? If it is, the crank pin 'timing' (for lack of a better word) would be different..

that said, i really, really want to see a 351W in an E-series. If a clevo can fit, surely a bigger windsor can.

the 351 windsor block is different to a 302 windsor block...the 351 has a taller deck height to allow for the extra stroke....

its true that the 302 windsor block will only go out to 347

[Aaron_EF8]

Windsor is a 90deg Vee, not 60deg.

Clevelands and Windsors are a fair bit different internally, not many parts interchange between the 2, and really, why would you, when there's unlimited amount of Windsor parts available from the US.

Exactly, why would you cripple a Clevo with Wheezer parts anyway?
