351 what? C or W or M? 351 C or W wont bolt up to your 460 but the M will..

you will need a bbf c6... bellhousings are different between bband sb... same as dodges... chevy didnt seem to have that problem tho...

ill bet he has a 351w in that truck of his...

so would i be better getting a 351 for my truck or should i get the 460.It has 456 gears with 38 15.50 16 tires and it is a dog.I want more power.Will a 351 do any better then my 302 i have now.I relly want the 460.But money is very tight and im trading a sled for the motor so i would have to get some cash to buy a trasmission and also i want to rebuild the 460 before i use it.So what would you guys do...

dunno much bout fords, but if it was me, id go with a 351. save soooo much money, esp if its a good motor.

i have a bbf love it . esp a big rig like yours ... but with the gears u might be okay with 351w and if u wanna be money wise.

i have a guy on got mudd that will trade my sled for his 351 but he is 1hour and 45 mins away the guy with the 460 is in the flint area.i guys i will have to get some more got mud members input before i get the 460.My wifes bronco has a 351 and it is like driving a mustag compared to driving my big bronco...but she only has 32 11.50 15 with 355 gears and her truck is a lot lighter then mine.My other idea is go with a 351 and got to like a 36" tire to shed some weight.

if u go 460 u will have to change the frame mount to work with the 460 ... which i did when i was restoring my 85' pretty sure it s same way with yours .

Best bet is to go with the 351. I just swaped a 460 in my truck. Did have a 351w. Its ALOT of work going from sb to bb. You get a good running sb you'll do just fine

danwheeler660 · May 06, 2011, 03:24:31 PM

ok look slike im going with the 351 and i will rebuilt it and add some good parts to get some power out of it thank you every one
