    New Paxton 351W kit for 1969

    Paxton has completed work on a new kit for the 1969 351W supercharger kit. They offer 2 kits (passenger or driver mount) just like the 289/302 kit, but the carburetor enclosure and brackets have been custom fit for the 351W. The kit makes 7.5 PSI of boost in stock form, and requires a mechanical...

    Cleaning/Polishing Glass

    Once you get the sticky and goop off, 0000 steel wool is nice for cleaning the bugs and water marks off glass.

    Dipstick tube is broken - 351C

    I think you are gambling At a bare minimum, pull it apart and clean out the block. Clean the carbon off the pistons, check the valves, check bearing clearances, check bore wear, look for signs of overheating, clean out the oil pan, and reassemble if everything is in good shape. Put new...

    FMX to AOD on a 351c

    Silly Nitrous_Eater... of course not! :) 351C shares everything smallblock in how it mounts to the car and transmission.

    NOVI 1200/ alternative supercharger pics

    It is important to note that Paxton does not OFFICIALLY support air conditioning on these kits. The passenger mount is to clear power steering components. Modification might be required to get the AC to work. mdjay, did you have much modification in yours for the AC?

    FMX to AOD on a 351c

    Additional costs will probably come out to be $500 if you can use your current driveshaft.

    FMX to AOD on a 351c

    Did it last fall with 3.89 gears. VROOM BABY!! My advice would be to NOT modify your crossmember. Get an after market piece and sleep well knowing it is built well. I do not know that the FMX flexplate will work... if it does, I wasted that $100. If you do get an aftermarket, be sure you...

    which rad?

    Aluminum all the way. My old 4 row couldnt cool a beer, let alone an engine. I switched to a Summit brand aluminum (Northern) and its been cool runnings ever since. Get a nice thermostatically controlled fan too :)

    Superchargers?

    There are either roots or centrifugal. Roots are the big blowers that stick through the hood. The carbs mount on top. They require special intake manifolds built specifically for the supercharger. Centrifugal uses normal style intake manifold. Carb mounts on the intake with a bonnet on...

    Took apart the 351c 2v today.

    I have mounted all my engines at the bellhousing holes... this way you can remove the heads if you are working on the engine.

    '70 351C w/o power steering - will this work?

    This is addressed to Hack right? I have all my manual steering stuff already :)

    '70 351C w/o power steering - will this work?

    I THINK I have a set of stock 351C pulleys (a crank and a water pump) for a 1970, but I will have to look to be sure. They will work for a power steering setup, but not for a non-power. There is a rare (or at least I couldnt find it) water pump pulley for manual cars. If I have a second set...

    '70 351C w/o power steering - will this work?

    I have a 1970 Mustang with a native 351C. It came with power steering (ironically, the ONLY option that car had). I got sick of the dripping, so I rusteled up a manual centerlink and pitman arm. I cleaned them up and installed them in place of the power stuff. I will never go back. Maybe...

    Should I weld this stuff myself

    Good luck with that quote. I dont think they will touch it for under $1000. If you can weld, I would do it yourself if you are confident enough in your alignment of panels.

    getting my 351C rebuilt got some ?s

    Reconditioned rods will be fine. Get some quality bolts, and ALWAYS RESIZE WHEN REPLACING BOLTS. Get the beams polished and shot-peened if you so desire, it will strengthen them even more. I know you didnt ask about any other cams, but I wanna throw my vote in for the Lunati Bracket Master...

    65 Mustang Coupe and 351 Cleveland

    A 351C or a 351W WILL fit in a 1965. There is a guy on these boards named dodgestang that did it. I am sure he will be around to talk to you about it soon. No car modification is needed, but the headers are gonna need 5 lbs. of persuasion. If you have a W or C build what you have. If you...

    No header for the FMX??

    Hooker 6913 is what I am running. I had an FMX. I had no problems. Looking at Hooker's website, I dont see ANY notes that say only certain transmissions. I see notes 4 and 33. 4 says "fabricate full system blah blah blah." 33 says "for use with 2V heads only." Those are the headers...
