    here's some pictures of my 351w that i just got home day before yesterday and finally got to tear it down last night. of course im rebuilding the whole thing but just thought i would share some pics. engine is from a '85 Crown Vic police cruiser. it had everything on it except for carb and fly wheel, which included alternator, p/s pump, a/c compressor, brackets, aluminum 2v intake and everything else. most of the original stuff will be junked and ill keep the short block to work with. it also had a factory oil cooler setup (which ill prolly post for sale on here if anyone is interested). wish me luck building this beast. :D

    Not sure why the tear down,,,, little bit of mechanic in the can, fresh air cleaner, should have been good to go!

    Surprised cop car had 2 barrel. Good project start!
