351 is a 5.0??????

[rev9fan1]

Ok so i have a friend who has a cobra replica that is telling me that there is 2 different versions of a 351, a 5.0 and a 5.8. From what i know the 302 its the ONLY 5.0 made and a 351 is a 5.8, he has not prove to me that there is a 351 5.0 he says when he goes to Pepboys he says he has a 351 and they ask him which version 5.0 and 5.8 lol i think he is BSing but i dont know someone help me please....

Did they also try selling him "Muffler bearings" you know they have them in bronze, gold and now platinum! Other than car wax, I'd stay away from those guy's. They once swore to me that a 66 Mustang didn't come from the factory with front disc. brakes!!

I heard they handle some very good Corvair waterpumps.

AAAAHHHH....but did it have air conditioning??????

Better yet, here is a GREAT website for your friend! http://www.kalecoauto.com/index.php?...products_id=10


There are some really funny items here! I personally like the "O" pipe dual exhaust!!

Now this is funny..........

Yes it actually did! They also replaced my clutch on my 66 Mustang. My father took it in and handled it as I was 16 years old. They told him my drive shaft was too long! They had a really hard time getting it out and it had to be shortened. My father said well ok and let them do it. Needless to say it didn't need to be shortened as it was the freggin lift they had it on. The rear end was dropped all the way down which put the drivesaft in a bind! I almost didn't have enough drive shaft after they got it back in! That was when I took over my repairs! Matt

What you need is a math forum.

I think i'll order some of those cross drilled brake lines and some adjustable power bands for my Yugo.......then i can go out and pick on unsuspecting Corvette owners......

Per my conversion chart:

5.0 = 302 through 307
5.2 = 318
5.4 = 327, 330
5.7 = 345, 350
5.8 = 351
5.9 = 360

The chart goes from 1.0 up to 8.8 but I won't swear to its accuracy.

Well Actually Pep Boys might have it right!
"In the 1980s the 302 became more commonly known as the 5.0 Liter, although its metric displacement (4942 cc) accurately rounds to 4.9 L. It is speculated[who?] that Ford used the "5.0" moniker to distinguish the 302 from the 300 cu in inline Six, which was known as the 4.9. Despite its advertised displacement, Car and Driver referred to the 302 – correctly – as a 4.9 liter engine."

HaHa!

Engine displacement is determined from the bore and stroke of an engine's cylinders. The bore is the diameter of the circular chambers cut into the cylinder block.

\mbox{displacement} = {\pi\over 4} \times \mbox{bore}^2 \times \mbox{stroke} \times \mbox{number of cylinders}

Examples: The 427 Chevy bore is 4.312 in, and the stroke is 3.65 in, therefore the displacement for this 8-cylinder engine is:

3.1416/4 * 4.3122 * 3.65 * 8 = 426.4 CID.

If the bore is 10 cm and the stroke is 5 cm with 4 cylinders, the calculation is:

3.1416/4 * 102 * 5 * 4 = 1570 cm3 ≈ 1.5 liters

Just for you Cashburn!

Like I said, he needs a math forum ... and you too!

Sorry teacher i didnt get that.........i was looking out the window at all the muscle cars driveing by.........or i must have cut class that day..........i was to stoned back then to remember stuff like that.........

Pep Boys is correct. During the early '70's, when first trying to deal with pollution control laws, Ford made a 5.0 351. It used the 351 block with the 302 crank, rods, and pistons, making for a 5.0 liter displacement. It provided a low compression, low pollution solution. This was in production only in 1970. Very rare, but Pep Boys has a keen eye and well trained staff.

Is this true ????

I'd say the line "Pep Boys has a keen eye and well trained staff." gives it away.

[CobraEd]

Now that I think of it, it you put 302 crank rods and pistons into a 351 with its taller deck, you would end up with about 3:1 compression. This cant be accurate.

Brent, I was posting while you were posting. you beat me to it, but great minds think alike !!!
