As Barry says the 351 is WIDER and TALLER.
I have kept my 351W relatively mild.Although I could have had more in the power department I was aware the more HP equals more heat.It was ran 12 times on the dyno.Results at the end were 269HP but 330 pounds of torque virtually up to 4000 RPM and there wasn’t too great a drop at 5000 rpm.The equalizer tube in the exhaust is supposed to give maybe 10 more HP but I never cared to check this out.
I do have a docile engine and it will pull in 5th from 800 rpm..
Would I do another 351? the answer is an absolute no.
I’m installing a 302 in the 62 and it has the goodies such as stage 2 heads.Ford racing roller cam and tappets.SS valves .You get the picture.
