Oooooh, I want it! I think a Windsor will drop into a ‘65 Mustang without modifying the shock towers. Probably needs different mounts. Crate 351W:
YearOne has designed a 351 Windsor crate engine that makes over 400 horsepower and 415 lb. lbs. of torque, yet is built with daily driving in mind.
The balanced and blueprinted bottom end features a 2-bolt block, cast crank, hypereutectic pistons, and a dual-pattern hydraulic roller cam. Topping it is a pair of aluminum heads with 2.02/1.60 valves, 1.5 rockers, and a dual plane intake.
With 10:1 compression, the engine runs on pump gas, plus it pulls 12hg of vacuum at 800rpm so you can sit on the power brakes in stop-and-go traffic. Each engine comes with oil pan, timing cover, valve covers, balancer, and flex plate. A 12-month/12,000-mile warranty is included in the $4,290 price tag.
