A good reason to follow the: "The get rid of junk in your garage, thread."

This is the 351w and C4 tranny that "frankienstang" offered in the "garage" thread. I know it doesn't look like much, compared to all the shiny metal we see in the "build-up" threads. Gotta start somewhere. I went to Dayton on Tuesday and got it. It turns out that it's a 1983 351w from (probably) a truck. So, it's not a "roller motor". The tranny is on the right hand side of the second pic down. It did come with a good carb and the Edelbrock intake.. Plans for it include poking it into a Fox Stang, throwing a bunch of nitrous at it and looking for a 10 second time slip. At least once.

Thanks again, frankienstang! Maybe now, I can live up to my Stangnet username.

Thats a great start to a project. Are you planning on doing a complete tear-down and rebuid, with possibly a stroker kit? Or just swaping over the fox accessories and keeping it carbed?

I'll run it carb'ed. I'll check bearings and stuff, when I swap the oil pan. I want to see how cheap I can get 10's. Anybody got a decet Fox body they want to part with...cheap?

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

How much did you get it for?

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

Hmm I have a 351 in my garage maybe i should get in that thread.

the point of the thread is to HELP members out ...there no supposta charge for stuff only shipping if people need things shipped

 

[reddy351]

Nope. Frankienstang is awesome. He didn't want anything for the parts. Just wanted them gone. He is a very cool guy!

I now have a line on an 88 Fox 4 banger/auto. Cheap. By the time the guy gets done with it, it may just be a "roller". That's fine by me. Just need a good body.
