Tweet

I race in circle track racing. I want to knwo which motor is lighter a 351C or 351W? Please and Thank you

Windsor is the lighter, mainly because of the heads, blocks are actually close in weight.

Thanks for the information

yep fords coppy of a bbc the bbc is still better engine

The better engine for what? What kind of car, what rpm range do you want to run in? what is the weight? and a gazillion other questions.....

Clevelands need a good oil pan for circle track racing

Tried to find parts for anything but a 'W' engine lately? Inexpensively/reasonably priced?

the w engine seams to be the one to build ? every one i know that runs the 351 use the w engine the 351 c heads are abit big less your going hi rpm engine???

Then of course with the right combination of parts a 351W can grow to 427 and in a few cases even bigger.
