Will a 351 FI fit in a 87 4Runner? How much bigger is it to a 302?

jimbo74

i doubt it... they arent too much bigger when thinking about a v8, but they can still be quite large

colsoncj

Ya, im kinda curious, ive never heard of anyone puttin one in a yota... im thinking bout it, just for the sake of bein different

stevenassco

they are virtually the same. 351W vs 302, only difference really is deck height and front accessories

its about 1" wider up top and 1" higher, thus many mustang with this swap just need dropped motor mounts to fit under stock hood.

Blocks are much better...hold 700-800rwhp reliably versus the stock roller 302 holding roughly 500rwhpish

hope this helps

yup... anyone know what the first year for sequential fuel injection was, and what these years of ford 4wds had for axles?

EWAYota

im guessing they had TTB (Dana 44's but not SFA) axles unless you get a 351 out of a f250. TTB starting from 79+ I believe.

Im thinkin f250 or 350.... i know my mom had a 2wd 351 F250... but that was a while ago and i never thought to pay much attention to it.. but it did have some kahunas with that 351 and 4.10's

EWAYota

i had a 79 ranger, 2wd, 302 with 31's in the rear and 28's in front (lol) and that thing screamed! if i end up doing a engine swap (thinking more for mud), might try and find a junked 302 h.o. efi.

colsoncj

ya i was first thinkin bout the 302, but thought "lets do something different" so here we are, going to try and fit a 351 in a 4runner.... now i just need some deep pockets...

EWAYota

Heck, with that attitude, stuff this in there

colsoncj

that is nice..... 390 or 427ish? i see what looks like a triple duece.... i want a fuely though....

Randomness

I dunno...but we put a stroked 351W (balanced and blueprinted, all bolt-ons) in my friends '65 fastback, with 4.56 locked rear end, and it HAULS.

EWAYota

427. I'd convert it over to propane!

colsoncj

im goina do this... i just need to finish up school (done in march) get a job (hopefully march) and start buyin the parts... hello 351...

I am interested in what the f250/350 4wds had for axles... thinkin bout usin them for the runner.... fords a left or right drop.

nother thing that crossed my mind... think i could take a full size front axle, narrow it only on the long side, enough to center the diff and be the width of a runner for rear steer while im at it?

hello the never ending hole in the mud into which i pour money

colsoncj

man i like that 427

colsoncj

also what did the 4wds use for auto trannies, anyone know?

EWAYota

C6's 75-79, not sure after that

just to let you know a windsor will fit easy. thats what is used for my mockup. its also what im thinking about doing but going with a 408 and, puting the 302 that is in my 84 into my 90 after the 3.0 dies

ok, 79 was the last year of the solid axle front end in your f100's, the f250's were still soild axle the axles were dana 44 in the front and ford 9inch in the rear.the f350's depending on if it was desil or gas, the gas still used the same axles as the 250's, but the desils used dana 60's in the front and either a 9in or a corperate 14 rear. trannys were c6 all the way up to the early 90's, but they also used a aod, c4 and another that i cant remember but the aod is a good tranny if you have it built this tranny is fords answer to chevys 700r, your c6 comes in 2 bell houseing big block and small block, so pay attension to what you buy. as far as the 351w goes, i have a ford bronco that has a built351w in it and it was dynoed at 625hp. that sumbitch hauls ass.. lock it in 4 low and it is unstopable..
