Yeah, I am not a fan of that 350 either. Yet still a sweet ride. I don't understand why he throws in a picture of his 50's chevy in there though.
I beg to differ on the 350. It's a good motor and is just as easy/cheap to build as the 351w. However, I do feel that putting a chevy motor in a ford product is kind of stupid when you can get either a newer 302 or a 351w for the same cost.
Not any more TBH, Fords are as cheap, if not cheaper than the chevy stuff, hell you can build a 350 HP 302 motor with mostly junkyard parts.
Wasn't it set the engine back, move the rearend forward and leave the straight axle in the stock wheel wells.
Actually it was all three move front axle forward set motor back and move rear axle forward all in the name of weight transfer...for traction. and that progressed into these another ford motor company first

That's been a lie for over 20 years now, but those 350s are still gas hogs. That's why the 305 became the standard V8 across the board, even in Vettes. Prices for 302/305 and 351/350 engine kits are about the same, as are aftermarket cylinder heads. In the early 80s, you could buy a brand new "Targetmaster" 350 for just over a grand. They initially had 4-bolt mains and a steel crank, being Mexican- made truck engines; but these features eventually disappeared, to keep prices low. The Tuned-Port FI engines were such a disappointment, that they were added to the 'crate' lineup. I knew somebody that bought a new '88 Vette 350 TPI engine complete, from top to bottom, with wiring harness and computer, for $2,800 from the dealer. Ford was slow to get into the crate arena, and the prices are a tad high. Steak costs more than hamburger. This guy probably pulled the drivetrain from a rusted-out Camaro or Nova. JD
