![]() This spray burns gas more completely which delivers more HP from the same amount of gas. Water pumps come in LH or RH, etc.Ĭarbureted engines will never be as efficient as fuel injection because they dribble fuel instead of atomizing the spray under 50-psi. Serpentine belt systems and brackets for alternators, P/S and A/C are very available. New and used parts are offered everywhere at attractive prices. They were offered both ways by Ford with either carburetors or EFI. It is a SBF that uses the exact same pistons as the 5.0 liter engine. ![]() The 351W is my most favorite engine because Ford used them in cars, trucks and a host of other applications like marine and construction. And I'm thinking of using the FiTech fuel injection for it. One guy even suggested mid 20's if it the 351 had fuel injection. And about the 351, I've gotten opinions from probably not any better mileage, to probably 18 mpg. And I don't see getting much more mileage even changing cam and heads. But it seems to have a real aggressive cam in it, and I'm only getting about 12 mpg. ![]() My 390 is a good running engine, appears to be a rebuilt short block with original heads put back on (and no work done on them). Not racing this car, just cruising and high way driving. ![]() My car is standard shift and want to keep it, so I'm also looking for a 5 speed. So, what can I expect gas mileage wise from a mild build, 351 W ? Aluminum heads, mild RV type cam for torque, boring if needed for clean up. And I'm mainly going to do it hoping for better gas mileage. I've located a 351 W that I'm going to build and put in my '59 squarebird later this year. Pageracing, and anybody else that has or going to do this swap.
