Hey guys i crapped out the bottom end of my car out... heard a crack and then my power went. SO looking for a new engine found a 351 out of a f-150. My questions are what kind of power am i looking out of the stock 351 also is it a Cleavland or Windsor.
Also what would be better Fuel Injection or Carburetor set up and what will i need to make it a nice 450 horsepower street car without boost

Its really not worth the effort to swap in a stock 351 out of a truck. You might get a bit more power but youll have to change quite a few things to put the 351 in.

The last year that F150's had 351's was 1996 so you'd be dealing with a bone stock 14 year old motor with probably well over 100k on it.

a 408 involves alot more than boring out a stock 351..... unless you have some money to shell out for headers, oil pan, and a good top end it isnt really worth it

The car is a Daily Driver. I want to get about 400 to the wheels minimum. The truck has 80000 miles and i think was rebuilt. my budget is flexible i just want an idea of what i need. for now i need to get this bitch in and running... i need to kno what top end parts i need and all that and what tranny can match up to it.

Call a junk yard and get an Explorer motor 96-00 5.0 and stick a stock HO cam or a small cam like a TFS Stage 1 in it. You would be much better off since it has GT40P heads already and you can sell the upper/lower intake or use it with an adapter. For a budget replacement hard to beat it.

I need the complete engine, tranny, driveshaft swap. The engine is already carb'd, accessory delete. the tranny has a shift kit and a beleive a slap stick shifter. The 93 has gt-40 heads? i thought it has e7s
