WINDSOR SMALLBLOCK TALK

[CHESTNUTXE 7,310]

i wonder if anyone has made an adaptor plate for the auto bell housing to be used with a T5/ single rail etc? (they've done ones for the lexus V8 to suit supra 5 speed)

I loosely put the cover on im just waiting for the bolts and still deciding which manifold to put on it probly a edelbrock performer

Is that standard rotation setup? If so it’s the same as mine.

yes it says 1966 to 1994 with fuel pump hole so can use late or early blocks.

So what is the verdict on head bolts? Are they torque to yield or normal?@Thom?

[CHESTNUTXE 7,310]

I re did them with sealer thismorn

As far as I'm aware the Windsor bolts weren't torque to yield, but I've bought new ones for all of the roller 5.0's I've done, sometimes they've been corroded pretty bad on the bolts that go into the water jacket

My understanding was the same, when I asked at auto shops for headbolts I kept getting the response “ use the old ones mate” to which I replied “ you just stick to ordering in the parts and taking my money and I’ll stick to screwing them together”. I ended up buying them from outlaw speed shop in S.A. They turned up the next day, $94. Heaps cheaper than anyone here.

brings back the question is it eeven worth building a std stroke 351w as the 302w roller block is readily available with a stroker kit will bring nearly the same ice cubes:unsure:

351Ws are slightly taller than a clevo block, much taller than a 302W: 9.5" vs 9.2" vs 8.2".

They're about 20kg heavier assembled, and have a massive crank in them, very similar to a 351M.

Basically a truck engine. But anything can make power if you throw the right bits at it

That timing cover looks different, compared to your stock EFI 302 Water pump shape.
Is it a carby water pump cover?

I'm pretty sure he was after a standard rotation cover

[CHESTNUTXE 7,310]

check this nice engine hook i cleaned and painted,yes the cover is an older style also check the dipstick hole in the cover which i will let the new owner sus out as these engines suit many combos and sumps ect,

[CHESTNUTXE 7,310]

This is the timing pointer that came off it but maybe an older style one would suit it,

[NZXD 2,328]

That’s the timing pointer to use, the others won’t fit.

So what’s the firing order in this beast?

[gerg 10,871]

Same as clevo? 13726548

302w is different to 351w firing order as most aftermarket roller cams have the 351w order to stop the confusion

Efi 302 was changed to clevo/351 windsor firing order 13726548

Not all. That f250 I did had the earlier injection system and the carby firing order

[Valvebouncer 2,389]

Hence the reason for my question, you changed the cam which dictates firing order. So is this the same as a late or early Windsor?
