Emissions compliant crate engines

[TheDoc]

Im a real novice when it comes to engine setups - been researching for a little while now and watching this site daily.

Those coyote eight stacks look great but I think you're talking 20k + with those systems + extras. The coyote is a big bastard too when compared to a 302 or 351.

I see people are sourcing some 351W long motors from eagle auto spares up here. I have the tubular upper intake set from a 95 ford lightning and the lower intake set to match... Im told Im supposed to use stock EFI to be passed.. none of these long engines come with computers... How are guys getting these engines to pass with aftermarket EFI (i.e. MASFLO set up).

Eagle auto said they can't guarantee their RECON 351w don't have a engine stamp that indentifies them as a much older engine block. I wonder if QLD transport even bother looking this up anyway.

When I get my hands on a 351W Id really like to hand it to someone locally who knows more than me - get it up to scratch with perhaps some performance upgrades - fitted with required intake set and have engine management all sorted - I don't know of anyone of the GC that could provide these services. ANY ONE KNOW ANY LOCAL ASSISTANCE??

Can always bang a coyote in - just not sure its the look I'm after.

Feel free to provide pros and cons of the 351w setup (not that anyone needs an invite around here?)http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hey Doc, as an aside, if you think the Coyote (US type) is big, run your tape over our 5.4 ! FaarK

Something to consider now is what fuel to run. I hang about on a Ford forum a bit and guys are getting 351W's through by running E85 & Injection so its something to give serious thought to.

Doc, PLR Engineering at Brendale know my 351w pretty well. If you want something built I'm sure the guys there can build you something.

You may want something a little different to mine but I'm sure they can provide you with the fruit you need. They build race engines though so compliant engines for the sniffer is probably not their primary focus or speciality.
