Personally I call it fun. Of course an E-series Falcon won't require pwr steer pump mods as there is much more room in that area. Depends how much you value a more durable, torquey engine I suppose? Pete. well seeing youve done it before & you know wat to do, do you feel like having some 'fun' with my car???  Sure! for $50 an hour...no worries. Pete. |

I haven't dyno'd it yet(it's only a been running a couple of weeks). After I've run it in I'll let you know. I suspect it'll peak around 200rwhp at about 4500rpm. The torque is huge and right off idle too...be interesting to see that curve. I'm only running the stock 55m MAF at the moment too. The throttle body at 78mm is too large also. I need to switch to 3:1 gears from the 3.5's it has now to take it advantage of that torque. I'd say a low 14 or high 13 would be achieveable with this combo. Pete. |

are there any mods required to the K frame in E series cars to get the 351 to fit? Will you need a new sump? Any mods needed to retain the factory air con?

Nope, except you need an EB-ED V8 K-member.
You need a front sump pan so an F-series one will need to be changed. The earlier high energy pans can sometimes hit the lip on the inside edge of the K-member so be sure to tell them it's for an E-series vehicle(watch it though they have a hearing problem). The sump comes with a side mounted dipstick but not an original 5.0L Falcon one which is a bit of a shame. you have do some creative bending of the dipstick mount...I'll get pic of the ute one to show you. Pete. |

Oh the aircon should be ok...it(the compressor) just moves out and up a bit but there's plenty o slack in the lines.

sounds like an interesting conversion, I already have the 5.0L in my car, so its just a matter of finding a good engine to start with. If I where to put the 351 in, would I need to buy a EFI 351, or could I get away with using a carby 351 and then bolting all the EFI gear onto it? (I realise that I will need the F series manifold)

Yeah just get a carbed engine. The only way to get an F-series intake to fit(have a look at my post about 351 into XE) would be to port match it to a Holley systemax2 upper or cut and shut the livin s**t s**t out of the upper which would defeat the purpose. AFter market is the only way I'm afraid.

Pete. If you wanted to run EFI, you could just use the EFI f series lower manifold and the E series upper manifold couldn't you? My car already has the injected 5.0. (Sorry if i sound a bit silly, i'm pretty new to this engine modding stuff)

351 has higher deck height so 5.0 don't fit..The rpm looks almost stock anyway.Atleast to the non rev heads...

(Sorry if i sound a bit silly, i'm pretty new to this engine modding stuff) Nope the F-series intake is completely different so the HO or any other intake won't bolt up to it. What I said about the holley upper is the only(time consuming) option to still use the F-series lower. Pete. |

How much would it cost to convert an au (manual ecu) to a 6 speed?

you can run the lower of a lightning truck, they are a GT40 lower to suit the higher deck of the 351

Yeah but try and find one. There have been some importers bringing in 2nd hand Lightning engines but you've got buckleys of getting them to sell the intake off it. Ford racing has stopped making them too. BTW what was this company you were asking about before? Pete. |
