Hi is there a quick easy way to identify this engine as a 351?

It maybe for sale and I was told it’s a 351, but the seller wasn’t sure.

It’s in a 80’s Fairlane, a special model I think it’s called a Cartier but I’m not sure.

Cheers

Thanks

I like it the idea of modding my
Current 3 speed bell housing.

I’m thinking the 4 speed my have a different input shaft spline.

A 4speed clutch plate may fit my current 3 speed pressure plate.

I’ve assumed the T5 was a lot longer to the stick ?

and would be a drama with the bench seat

so I hadn’t considered the T5.

My diff at 3.23 : 1
is great on the open road.

Hi all,

I’m new to this place it’s only my second ever post.

I’ve got a XY , 6cyl 250 pre cross flow car, that’s 3 speed column manual,bench seat.

I’m looking for info and tips on converting it to a 4 speed single rail.

I’ve got some questions...

Is it worthwhile doing?

Will it drive better?

My hydro clutch and fork is on the passenger side, can I keep my existing bell housing and all internals , clutch and flywheel etc?

Do I need to mod the tailshaft length?

Gear lever clearance near the bench seat all ok?

Speedo drive/cable mods?

Other than the box , what other parts do I need?

Any info or tips would be appreciated.

If anyone’s got a good single rail box for sale ,I heard the Cortina box is better ? please pm me.

Happy to pay freight also.

Thank you

PS it’s just a cruiser, patina paint, original car, nothing fancy.
