Grabber 9 Posted November 27, 2019 I’m looking at a 1 of 1 police order and it has 351 toploader. I thought dees only had singles. I know ESP5.8’s had single. Second dee I’ve come across that may have factory toploader. the ford letter makes no reference... Dee needs full resto. Whaddaya reckon it’s worth...

gerg 10,871 Posted November 27, 2019 Problem with Fords is that there is no distinction between top loader or single rail on the build plate. It just tells you 4 speed floor shift. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
351XD_Fairmont 604 Posted November 28, 2019 Yeah gregs right the build plates only say 4 speed floor shift, so to do the letters you get from ford(not that their known for their accuracy). One of mine a factory 351 manual has a toploader and from the inside it all looks factory but I highly doubt it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grabber 9 Posted November 28, 2019 Manual XB gt’s had 4V engines and toploaders to 12/73. from 1/74 changed to 2V and Singlerail. I am told that they were doing toploader special orders only after that, and ran out of toploaders in the XC’s. This means no toploaders in XD’s. Perhaps a factory person can confirm. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,260 Posted November 29, 2019 Yeah, never seen a Top Loader in an XD. Just Single rails, but, after 40 years, I'm sure there have been a few sold with a TL installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defective 1,692 Posted December 7, 2019 Ahh the old Xd with a factory top loader and nine inch urban myth...Well, almost. At best it would be a dealer fit. Unprovable either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winton 399 Posted December 7, 2019 I bought a ex cop xd 20+ years ago from a car yard, I was 17 at the time. It had a top loader and 9" wouldn't have a clue if it was factory. Really should of kept that one. I know the guy who owns it now but haven't seen him in years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
