We do not have many complaints of the stroke 351W engines using
oil. The wrist pin does not go into the
oil ring on these stroker combinations. I do feel that the way we use our Cobra that they might be prone to use a little more
oil than normal because we never crank them up and go for 1000 to 2000 miles a trip. The cars get started and driven a little and then parked but still not many problems.
I have one customer that was buying the 408 and the 427 stroker engines and putting in his 10,000 pound plumbing vans because the orignal 351W did not have enough power. He put a lot of miles on them in CA. Thanks, Keith
