Ive got an 81 f 350, 4 speed that had a 400m. I blew the motor last week. Ive put a 351w in it from an 84 crown vic, also converted it to hydraulic clutch. The distributer has 3 wires just like the 400 did but no plug so I had to guess where the wires went. It is getting spark now but the coil gets real hot. We pulled the distributer and got the engine to TDC probobly about 10 times. It turns over great but wont even try to start. It is getting fuel and spark. I really want to hear it run, the engine is cammed and bored and I did hear it run about 6 years ago before I pulled it from the truck. Its been under cover since and is in excellant shape. Any ideas, it is driving me nuts.
