Monty Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The question is pretty simple - I'm not asking about 289/302s, 1/24 302s or anything else quasi-related. While I realize the difference in deck height would be negligible in scale, I'd still like to know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Any particular year? I know the Saleen S281 kit comes with a newer 351W (should actually be a 281 for the S281 to be correct, but that's beside the point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking there are some nineties era AMT F-150 pickups that might have the 351. EFI, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah those do too. There's a regular cab long box (both snap and glue), regular cab short box, and regular cab flareside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torinobradley Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone know if the small blocks in the older ford vans were 302s or 351ws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 In additon to what has previously been mentioned, he Revell '32 Fords come with a 5.0 (302) which could be made to work- as you said, the deck height/width issues would be negligable in 1:25.

george 53 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 ANY 289/302 block can pass as a 351 Windsor if you want it too. Like Chuck said, measuring them wouldn't be noticable. From the OUTSIDE, they're virtually identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I just dug out a Revell 302, and an AMT 351 ('93 F-150), and they're very close in size. The '92=95 F-150 kits would be the easiest to source- they all come with an AOD, but if you wanted a passenger-car automatic transmission or a manual, you could graft one on pretty easily. The Revell '94-up Mustangs all have modern five-speed manuals, the AMT '67 Shelby has a nice four-speed (If I recall correctly, it even has a separate bellhousing and shift linkage), and the Revell street rod kits have a late model EOD auto. I've used the F-150 351 block in the past with the manual trans from a '94 Mustang and everything matched up pretty well with minimal file work. (Only reason I did the 'cut and paste' was because I somehow managed to mess up the block on the Mustang casting, but still wanted to use the 5-speed.)

I dont quite agree with that. The 289/302 are a little to narrow as it is in most kits, I dont think they would pass very well as the wider 351 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intake manifold is noticeably wider on the 351 and therefore the best visual indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
