Thanks for the info so far folks!
Sorry I have not got the cam specs to you as of yet Rolling Thunder. I 'think' it is the m-6250-a341 cam. Which is listed on the Ford motorsports catalog as:
Intake events open 0 degrees BTC, closed 34 degrees ABC, Exhaust events 49 degrees BBC, closed 5 degrees BTC, Duration intake 292 or 214 degrees, exhaust 302 or 224 degrees, Lift lobe .295 I or .310 E, Valve .510 I or .536 E, Lobe center 107 degrees, exhaust 117 degrees.
But, I will double check. If this is the cam it looks like a pretty strong midrange type cam. I would think peak HP in this cam would come on in the 5500 - 6000 range. Check out
http://stangstable.com/ for some interesting 351C setups. Judging by the power they are getting in the differences between my engine and some of theirs, I would say the 385HP figure I was quoted was correct with and addition 40 not hard to get.
The pan come with a windage tray, scraper etc. Check out Armondo's
Oil Pans. Very nice.
Thanks for the main caps torque settings, I do want to pull a cap off and take a look.
Now if some knows the ins and outs of of the
oil pump R&R I will be in! I have done this a number of times but it has been SO many years that I want to double check myself!
Thanks again
