Fist and foremost this will not be an instant build. This may take years.
I am interested in a 351w explorer. Heres what I want. No 302s or 331s or 347s. Specifically 351 based.
As close to 351 as possible, (no strokers) with a bit of wet nitrous, carbureted. I plan on full forged internals, a good set of heads, custom headers and exhaust, and a custom oil pan if needed. I understand there will be issues with the fitment. (steering, headers, oilpan, cooling? anything im forgetting?)
Also there will be a fuel cell with 110 octane dedicated for nitrous, with its own fuel pump. Regarding the fuel cell system, what size fuel lines do i need? I have NO clue what this -4an and -6an etc is?
The members that have done this are 4x4 and they body lift to compensate for the extra size of the engine, would simply modifying the stock hood or getting a 9" cowl hood from up22.com work?
Would the stock 8.8 hold up to the 351s power? Will a t5 hold up to the 351s power? Maybe a m5r2? Suggestions PLEASE?
I understand I will have to retard the engine for nitrous. Is there a product lets say from msd that will automatically retard the timing for when the system is armed? I have been doing my research and very little has turned up.
Thank you for your time in advance.
