Default Re: 351C vs 351E

the 351C is a good engine, and if you don't have a Magnum engine, you can still bolt in a 351C in place of a 305W (whatever=A, B, D, C, E). You can do a bolt in swap between any of the 305, 351 or 401 engines, engine out of bigger truck have a taller water pump housing/timing cover, so you have to change the water pump housing, or switch to an electric fan to cooling. when switching the timing cover one alneed to switch the gears out for a chain.

another good thing about either the 351C or 401, if you have a Magnum engine with the lower end that is shot, you can pull all the Magnum engine parts off and bolt onto a 351C or 401 and basiclly have a Magnum engine when done. I guess if one really wanted, you could also bolt those Magnum engine parts to any of the 305 engines and get a 305M.
