I'm searching for the same thing. I already have a 351w, but I didn't realize it would be this hard to find headers. Has anyone tried a header from Sanderson #FF4?
I will second the WoW part and not go any further into detail, but not alot of that makes any sense to me....
Ha, ha,...I agree, that Mustang made no sense to me either, and I wouldn't get into the car with him after that, but the damn thing was like a rocket ship...no joke. Again, it buried the speedometer in well less than a quarter of a mile and the wheels had traction. It's pretty neat when you think about it, a 304 Hemi mustang off a 289 block! This has possibilities.
Anyone who can "bury the speedometer" on a city block and does so should be shot... IMHO.... And your calling this a hemi why? (just curious) a 289 and a 302 block are the same. Its the crank that is different.
I think you've got me wrong. He openned this thing up on a two mile straight road way out of town. In VT that's a rare piece of straight away, but that was the deal. I wouldn't have wanted to do that in the city,....wow! The pistons were AMC Javolin hemi's or "curved" on the tops to improve fuel ignition efficiency; at least that's how he described it to me. What he did with the crank, I have no idea. Also, the engine was rebored to 304 not 302 as you stated. The Javolin hemi was a 304 engine, right? This was an amazing engine, high compression and it purred like a sweet little kitten until you got into it. It was a great sleeper engine. I should call him up and ask for the specs to share with you guys. It's been a long time, but I'll bet I can hunt him up.
So they were dome pistons? That doesn't them a hemi... the old Hemis had the spark plugs going thru the valve covers... Hemi actually means hemispherical head which is nothing special these days. I'm assuming your talking about a ford based motor and not a AMC motor correct? Is so if you bore a 302 .30 over it makes a 306. so its possible to make a 304 easily I assume. Im not trying to argue, just telling what what knowledge I know, and trying to learn what you are talkinga bout
Hey, no problem. I don't think you're arguing either,...you're just not paying attention to what I've typed. I'm getting blisters re-writing the same stuff over and over here and it's time to move on. Go back and read what I wrote if you are confused. I'm no expert on these engines, but let's review...A Ford 289 block re-bored to accept AMC 304 hemi pistons. Three chains welded from frame to block (and it needed it). Nitrous Oxcide on board and utilized....got it? Car moved like hell, scared me to hell and NO it was not on a busy crowded street that I got the hell scared out of me in this car! End of report. TROG must eat. End of message. Let's move on. I'll be getting the specs from him as he is an expert and You'll be the first person I post them too,...sound good? Ta, Ta
I completely understand everything you have posted... Maybe once you get the real specs people will understand more completely... as I'm not the only one here who had no clue what you were talking about.
Depends on the block. later models arent as strong as older models. But people get 400 to 500 horse out of them all day long..
You dont have to destroy your shock towers or buy headers or anything else it is exactly the same block believe me it comes from the same "small block family than 289 & 302" it is just higher and a little bit longer but dont worry it just fits as easy as the other ones. *but if you want problems place a 351 cleveland thats a problematic block you have to do all the shock towers stuff also has much more power remember it is the small block with big block perfomance
Wow, you must be new to Mavericks... Yes, it will fit... but it is a total PITA. The 351 is wider than a 302 which makes the headers a PITA to fit and spark plugs a PITA to get to also... As far as 351C fitting, your right, you will need to do the modifications just the same as you would with the 351w.
