That engine brings back some fond memories. It's been a long time since I have seen and engine driven fuel pump and actual plug wires. Most everything has the short ones coming off of the coil packs. Sweet.

I like how you could shut the hood with a midget in the engine bay. Old school

Sweet. Last one I had was the 351 HO in my 1987 F150. The factory set the floats too high and the rich condition clogged the cats. I took it in to Ford and the service manager drove it. He got back and said seems fine but we will check it. They found the clogged cats and the high floats. They called me up and said "you were correct that thing was not running right". He had never driven the 351 HO. He said man that thing runs like a scalded ape now. Looking back today is hard to believe that engine labelled HO.

I had a 72 Torino with that motor, except that it was only a 2V. I miss that car.

Has 10 to 1 pistons and a 3\4 cam . Just got the Holy 650 double pump rebuilt yesterday . All we like is radiator hoses and hooking up the fan switch to come on a 180 degrees Will try and post a short video when we fire it up Monday and break the cam in .
May your wiener schnitzel always stay above your lederhosein.
