thanks gxr02190....
You have been a great help!
I like the engine... looks like it went into the torino? is that right? i guess i need to do some more research to find out how many thousands were made....
I buy lottery tickets too and have not won anything yet...
But i did pick up this bad boy from prestige motorsports (in north carolina)...will drop it into my 69 mach 1... 351W DART block.. 427 stroker... Dyno 575HP...535TQ.. and add a T56 6 speed with strange ford 9inch rear end..
It may have been a small disappoint to learn your motor was not a Boss block but I am confident your post provided a lot of members with some great insight and new knowledge.
You should be credited with having the post of the month as I and others thoroughly enjoyed following it...thank you!!
Hello again Bob. As far as how many were built, that number is up there. Approx. 15,000 1971 mustangs were equipped with the 351-4V. Add to that he number of '71 Cougars, Montegos, Cyclones, and Torinos, of which, I have no figures. Then, add to that the number of '70 Mustangs, Torinos, Montegos, and Cyclones - whatever that number is...... Whatever the total is, it's a lot. And these things are still considered scarce today, compared to the H-code 2-barrel version.
