351w convertion in 87 convert questions

Ledpeddle 26 April 2005 20:33:58

It would cost you a lot less money & save a lot of valuable time to find
a 5.0 donor car for the project, as it will have all the parts you need.
The 351W/5.8 is only about 20-25 lbs. more than the 5.0.

351W/5.8 bare block weight- 168 lbs.
302/5.0 bare block weight- 129 lbs.
Difference- 39 lbs.

The only blocks that are really close in weight are the FRPP racing blocks where there is only 7 lbs difference between the two.

FRPP Sportsman 351W, 2-bolt main, racing block- 183lbs.
FRPP R302, 4-bolt main, racing block- 176 lbs.

But you could build a MONSTER stroker with one of these blocks and a huge overbore.

I think he was referring to the weight of a complete engine. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The 351W would have an even wider weight gap on the 302. The intake manifold
is bigger (wider), hence heavier. Everything else would weigh the same since
the parts are all interchangeable (except distributor). However, just to
pick nits, a stock 351W uses longer rods, taller pistons, and a taller
distributor (which add even more weight). Moving the difference up closer to
50 lbs, not the suggested 25 lbs. Now if every pound counts, that's alot of
weight to try and cut somewhere else.

 I was thinking the 351W would be carburated as to the 5.0's fuel injected
smogged weight.
