Hello, I put the 351 Windsor in my 1985 F150 short bed step side with a C6 and loved it but then could not keep it filled up and then gas got almost 4.oo per gallon and then 'what`s his name" got reelected and there is no hope in sight so I sold it to a couple from Canada and bought a ford...

Hello, I have a 1996 Ranger with a 2.3 engine with 8 spark plugs. The timing belt broke when it was idling so there should not be any valve damage. I have taken off every thing needed to repair it including the water pump which needed to be replaced any way but short of taking off the overhead...

1985 F150 XLT with 85,000 miles. power windows that work, power door lock that work, tilt wheel, AC that works, power steerind and brakes new tires, new front bed panel (damaged) 351W, C-6 trans. B&M Ratchet shifter on floor, guaranteed 100% rust free. no dents in bed, factory wood in bed floor...

finally got the HEI today but almost never got the old distributor out slipped the new one in and it started the first time it turned over. I need to get a small air breather as the coil on top of the new dist. will not let it come down on the carb. it is a shame no one lives close as I have...

I bought a HEI distributor and a set of accel wires and it should be alright and I appreciate all the info you gave me but I think it may have been bad when I took it out of the 1987 and I took all the smog stuff off and I am sure that did not help, I have never seen so much wire and vacuam...

Nothing I do will make this dura spark work so I am going to go another way does any one use the "ready to run" coil and distributor kits. They should be a 1 or 2 wire hook up and I can get rid of what I cannot seem to make work. There are several on e-bay for about 125.00 and are probably a...

I am ready to hook up the dura spark but nothing on the starter relay is marked. There are 4 terminals (1) The cable from the battery (2) the wire from the switch (3) there is nothing hooked up on this terminal (4) The cable to the starter. Which one is the I terminal that I hook the red wire...

I have the 351 and C6 in the truck, no problem until I tried to put in the drive shaft and it is about 2 inchs too long. I went to the junk yard and nothing worked so I guess I have to have it cut, I wonder why it does not fit.

due to old age, failing eye sight, and a short memory , I wrote the wrong colors coming out of the durs-spark box they are red and white and I believe the red goes to the starter relay and the white goes to a switch wire that is hot when the key is on. I really hope this works out.

:guns: I took out the 351W , the C-6 and every thing else I thought I could use and then I pulled the motor mount brackets. The one on the drivers side had 3 rivits and 2 bolts in it. It took me 2 hours to get it off. I plan to take the 6cyl out next Monday but I have a question, The 1985 6cyl...

The 1987 F250 has round Ford hubcaps and beauty rings all chrome and all good for 16 " Ford rims. Are they worth anything. Thanks

I took the air cleaner off and she had someone put a Holley double pumper on it looks like about a 650 cfm. I have put a bunch of them on the 390 but it seems like overkill on the 351W, what is best for it (2) The heat (110 to 120) does a number on hoses and headliners and the several hundred...

I just bought a 1987 ford 250 with a 351W and C6 with 60,000 miles on it for $700.00. The motor and trans are in really good condition and the truck itself looks good, has good tires and a camper shell on it. All I have to do now is change both motors and trans and I can get my truck painted. I...

Hello, How involved is it to convert a 351W from fuel injection to carb. I can get a really low milage 95 with all the f.i. hardware but I guess it is nearly impossible to put it in my 1985. $400.00

The lady with the burned out motor home told me the motor had 40,000 miles on it and it was an electrical fire and that I could have the motor, the c-6 and the radiator for 700.00. I drove 180 miles round trip and when I got there the carb was melted and everything bolted on the motor was burned...

seat on drivers side, if only I could wire it up. I am trying to make a deal on a 351W and C6 that is in a class C that had a kitchen fire in it. supposed to be in top shape. I have been told that the rv motors have a different cam but do not know for sure

This is the last one I have lots of pictures but do not want to use the whole forum just for my stuff, I should heal up and get the 351W and C-6 in and get it painted so do not waste time sending your pictures in for August as the 1985 F150 will no doubt be THE truck of the monthyou can see...

this is the F250 before I turned it ovvvver, it ruined the cab, both front fenders and the bed, but never bent the frame. It is a long story with a happy ending

I have time to try to send some pictures-this was my F250 before I turned it over or it is a picture of putting on the new cab and bed more to follow

Hello, The clutch went out on my fan in the 1985 Ford F150 with 6 cyl motor, are the threads left or right handed on the water pump shaft. My book shows only the diesel water pump having the clutch that screws on the end of the shaft but this one does

I looked up the thread on replacing the 300 cid with the 302 and wondered if the same thing applies to a 351 swap (moter mount and radiator swap) and how do I recognize a 351w, and is it better than a 302

Hello, I live in "no smog stuff" Nye county Nevada and every thing on my 300 six cyl. came from the factory in 1985 and I would like to remove it, including the exhaust system and put on a stock muffler. Is it possible to remove the pump with out harm to the engine it is not fuel injected, or...

I have some parts for sale from my 1985 xlt that will also fit a full sized broncho. The chrome front bumper with no scratches or dents, should be able to put a tag on it and ship it UPS. both door panels for power windows and power door locks with no switches, in good condition but would have...

Hello, I am putting a set of cream colored bucket seats from a Lincoln in my 1985 xlt and they are beautiful. both are power seats and the car had front end damage and he had sold the motor and had cut every wire under the hood taking it out. I would not take out another Lincoln seat if I have...

I missed a 302 and C6 for 300.00 by one day, the cheapest I could put a C6 in mine was about 1500.00 so I put in a T18 and next year I will go with aV8 and C6. What I have now is a 1/2 truck with a 5 ton trans. but at 65 mph it still only tachs 1700 rpm. thanks for all the help

I finally found a "baby C6" for the 1985 Ford F150 with the 300 six cyl but it came out of a 1967 mustang with a 302, will it fit. I bought a flywheel from the auto parts for the 6 cyl There are lots of big block parts but not any smal block and also lots of C4 thanks again

Rebuilt C6 transmission and new converter, do I just put in the fluid make sure it is in park and crank the motor or is there a better way to do it. All the ones I have changed still had fluid in the converter. thanks

I am going to change over my 1985 Ford f150 with a 300 six cyl. to a C6 auto and I need a flex plate balanced for this year model. Every one here seems knowledgable so I will have a better chance of getting the right one. I would take the whole changeover if I could get it within 200 miles...

Hello, I found a C6 from a 302 Mustang but the man said that I would have to use a flex plate fropm a 300 motor because it is balanced internally and should have no balance weights on the flywheel. He said the crankshaft was balanced on the 300 and the 302 flywheel would cause problems. Even tho...

old man but new member I have a1985 XL 150 short bed stepside, never been wrecked, no dents (no paint either) and 77,000 miles. It has a 300 six and one of the crummy 4 speed manuals (4th gear over drive) and tachs 1200 rpm`s at 65 mph so it has most of the miles in 3rd gear. My wife will be...
