some may find it easier to stand their block up on its bellhousing surface and let gravity help to install the camshaft before installing anything else that will get in the way of reaching inside the crankcase to guide the camshaft. You can even do this dry (so your hands remain clean to move the camera around) and then lube it up once installed--then you aren't knocking lube off the back end of the camshaft. great video, glad to see these engines finally step out of the shadow of the Cleveland.
Two things one I didn't see the oil pump driver in your oil pump and two on small block Fords it's better to put the timing cover on before the oil pan because the timing cover gasket is usually a little long on the bottom and you can trim it flush so your oil pan gasket can get a good seal other than that good job
I just picked up a 351 race motor that's been forgotten in a garage since 2003. gonna try to avoid having to rebuild it but it did come with cork gaskets which has me worried.
I'm using a standard Ford water pump and timing cover. Make sure you figure out how your serpentine belt will rotate the water pump. Small block Ford setups can have clockwise and counter clockwise rotation water pumps. The timing cover also needs to match which direction of rotation water pump you buy.
So I am also in the Metro Detroit area and recently had a marine 351w engine shit the bed on me. If you happen to know any engine builders in the area that can build a reliable, budget friendlyish, low hp engine unlike this beautiful drift monster holler at me haha. Trying to avoid shipping the thing all over the country cause I'm about 40% certain there will be a crack in the block. Plenty of blocks around but shipping them will be a pita. Free wakesurfing and boat beers included for any help haha.
Question for you what heads are You running? I see that they have dual bolt pattern on the exhaust side also are they iron or painted aluminum ? Any information that You can share will be greatly appreciated ! Thank You 🇺🇸 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
@@CrownRacingCo Thanks for the info this is the first video i come across from you guys, i started watching more and all i can say is i wish i found yalls channel sooner very well put together videos, informative and entertaining as well, keep up the good work 👌
@@pablosilerio-romero2029 thank you bud that means a lot to us. we are a small channel and we try to improve our video quality with each video. Thank you for the kind feedback!
A couple questions...1. Did this motor come from a donor vehicle (salvage yard?). 2. Is there a prefereed 351W casting/year to start from? 3. Estimated cost to replicate this build? 4. HP and torque numbers for this engine? Well done fellas.
1. I bought the short block from creb engineering 2. Yes. You want a 351w block that was made in the mid 1990s. This is because you can use roller lifters for your camshaft. Having a roller 351w block is more desired rather than having an older engine block that requires a flat tappet camshaft and supporting lifters. 3. Estimate cost is around $5-4k 4. My power estimates is 400hp/450ft-lbs at the flywheel.
Check out creb engineering on google. Creb engineering has built two of my 351w bottom ends. No sponsorship. They do good work. I'm an engine builder myself. Creb engineering can do an oil gallery modification to keep the oil at the main and con rod bearings that makes the engine last longer. 351w are designed for flat tappet cams. If you run a roller cam. Do the oiling mod to keep oil at the crank and rods.

That's a PRO Tip! We never thought of that. Thanks for the advise!
@@CrownRacingCo glad to share and happy holidays :)
@CrownRacingCo are you guys going to make the mustang GT 2002 a drift or track race car
I'm taking my 351W apart and getting ready to pull it to rebuild it. I enjoyed this video
Great vid guys. I'm getting ready to have a 351 roller motor built for my notch. Very informative

Good job man!

How far down in the hole are those pistons at TDC? What type and thickness gasket did you use?
Thanks!
I would love to hear it run know.
We made a video of it running for the first time!! Check out our video labeled "this comp cams camshaft sounds nasty"
Cool stuff
I love the series guys. What thickness head gasket and piston did you use to get 11:1 compression? subscribed
Head gasket thickness is 0.041in compressed. Combustion chamber volume 58cc. Wiesco piston 5501A4. My pistons sit 0.018in down in the bore.
Hermoso video
You may have answered this question but what water pump did u use? I have a 351 I'm putting in my 2000 gt

Small block Ford setups can have clockwise and counter clockwise rotation water pumps. The timing cover also needs to match which direction of rotation water pump you buy.
What's up man?...you looking good over there...i sent you a picture of my current situation with the spacing...holla at me

I may have missed it, but did you guys check piston to valve clearance in this video?
Yes we did! We also have another video going in depth about how to measure piston to valve clearance.
Question for you what heads are You running? I see that they have dual bolt pattern on the exhaust side also are they iron or painted aluminum ? Any information that You can share will be greatly appreciated ! Thank You 🇺🇸 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
They are Windsor Jr cylinder heads. Cast iron. 180cc ports with 58cc heart shape chamber.
Does the small block ford book actually help? i want to build my 4.6 2v for boost but ive never opened up an engine before
Yes that book was very helpful when I did my first engine build. I recommend you buy one for your engine build

I have a 94 f150 it's got a 351 Windsor 5.8 Ltr, I wanna rebuild it. Is that something you all can do?
What intake manifold did you use on the 351 build
Edelbrock RPM air gap. Dual plane intake manifold
I have an 04’ and a 96’351w Trying to keep a/c and all tho. Trying to decide if I should fuel injection or carburetor?
Use the stock fuel pump and go EFI. I use Holley super sniper. I really like it

I have a 94 gt I'm in the middle of the road on a 351 swap or a 6o
Brand cyclinder heads?
Those are cast iron 185cc Windsor jr cylinder heads made by world products. I ported them.
@@CrownRacingCo thanks bud
What transmission did you use to swap this into your new edge
You can use either a 94-95 mustang gt T5 or a 99-04 mustang V6 T5. I currently use a tremec tko600
@@CrownRacingCo thanks for the reply going to see if I can use my tr3650 thinking about going this l route
@LuisTorres-xe2kr did you find out you can't yet? Maybe find a bellhousing adapter
I’ll be using a different trans , like the tko600 suggested above 👆
Ill make a deal. You tell me what a good bottom end rebuild kit for my roller 351w is, and Ill sub like you said at the beginning of the vid!

I just realized y’all are twins
Yes we are lol
Ahh yes assembling an entire engine from a pile of parts “fairly simple”
WASTE OF MONEY ! YOUR GOING BLOW IT AGAIN & AGAIN !
You won’t blow it if you don’t push it
