Ford Racing 351 Aluminum Block 9.5-inch Deck

Ford Racing is known for performance parts that push the limits, and their 351 aluminum engine block is a prime example of that dedication. If you're building a serious, high-horsepower engine, this block is designed to be the foundation for your project. It's constructed from 356-T6 grade aluminum, which is a strong material that also helps shed a significant amount of weight compared to a traditional cast iron block – this one comes in at just 118 lbs. That weight savings can make a big difference in how your vehicle handles and performs.

This block features siamesed cylinder bores with cast iron sleeves, ready for a 4.125 inch bore, and a 9.400 inch deck height. For serious strength where it counts, it has 4-bolt main caps on the center three journals (2, 3, and 4) and 2-bolt mains on the end journals (1 and 5), all fitted with steel billet main caps. The main bearing bores are finished to 2.9415-2.9425 inches, ready for a 2.75 inch crankshaft. It's set up to accept a standard wet or dry sump oiling system, and it will work with a standard small block timing chain, chain cover, and oil pump. This block is built to handle a maximum stroke of 4.250 inches, giving you plenty of room to build a powerful, reliable engine.

When you're putting together a custom engine, starting with a solid, well-built block is crucial. This Ford Racing 351 aluminum block offers a strong, lightweight platform that's ready for your build. Remember, this block is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on assembly and setup.
