Not a Mustang question, but I'm betting you guys have forgotten more about Ford SB's than I'll ever know. I have a reverse rotation 351w in my vintage ski boat. The previous owner was less than forthcoming about the motor. Long story short it was pumping oil out the dipstick tube, Pulling the heads revealed the problem to be the #7 bore was severely pitted and eroded from water sitting in it, apparently for a long time.
Rather than boring that block, I've acquired another reverse rotation shortblock casting #d9ae 6015 ed15 il4. The original block is still in the boat, I can't see the casting #. I'm assuming its the original 1972 block. Were there any changes that would keep me from swapping all the parts over? Oil pan, timing cover, etc, etc...
I'm also looking for a bit more power and have a set of shorty wet headers, performer intake, gt40p heads with bigger valves and 1.7 rr's, I'm going to do a cam upgrade within the limits of the wet exhaust. I'm looking for broad flat torque up to 5200-5300 rpm.
What do you guys think?
