looky what I picked up tonight!

[derekm]

96 F4TE 351 roller motor, 82k. still undecided if I want to just slap heads & a cam at it or stroke it first....

[madvlad]

Late winter project eh?

[FZRguy]

I'd run it if the short block is good. You can always stroke and poke later.

[Wrider]

I'm with FZRguy. Get a decent cam and some nice flowing heads on it, and it'll definitely work. Then if nothing else you can buy a block that needs serious work and start from scratch on it.

[derekm]

I've been looking for this style block since Oct! haha. the only setback w the short block is cast and huge dish in the pistons, 58 cc heads will yield right around 9.3:1

[bulldog]

Looks heavy...and you picked this thing up all alone

[derekm]

dude looked like old beavis from the b&b movie! up in brighton of all places haha

[FZRguy]

Yeah, kinda low comp but you can run regular. Mill the heads and use a thin head gasket for a bit more.

[derekm]

got this bitch in with plywood acting as a driveway!

[derekm]

Compression is good but i think I might as well just dump the $ for a 408 now... O man decisions!

[derekm]

[FZRguy]

I would have the urge to pull her apart too. New shiny 11:1 pistons!

Motor sure would have made a bang... But not in a good way!
