Theres this crazy story going around about some kid that was in a car accident in the middle of brooklyn NY. and his car got hit by an 18wheeler and his car rolled 10 times off a cliff. IN THE MIDDLE OF BROOKLYN!! PLEASE tell me if this is possable. Now there saying that its not in the paper because the family chose for it not to be, I thought it had to be in the paper you could only choose to not have the names givin out. Right?


Answer
Public knowledge is public knowledge. I'm under the understanding that news gets put in the paper regardless. Maybe you could beg and plead w/ the cops or the newspaper officials, but even home foreclosures and people who don't pay their property taxes go in the paper for all the world to see.

I want to see the cliffs in Brooklyn. email me a pic of that!

What is the best way to build a 1979 Ford 351 modified engine?

I'm restoring a 71 mustang with a 79 351 m in it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The vehicle is in bad shape and I'll be thrilled if I can just get it turning over/running.



Answer
I had a number of fords from that time period I had a cougar xr7 with a built 351 windsor that was one tire smoking bad boy at the time and while I managed to stay under the police radar in it the car was too fast for me being young and I managed to bash it into a cliff and a big tree stump which finnished it off. There were either a 351 w or windsor in the fords in the late 60s early 70s or the 351 C or cleveland. The windsor was about 400 lbs lighter which made it more desirable for hot rodders but both engines were good and did good on gas as long as you kept your foot off the floor.
Late 70s ford came out with the modified for the smog bs. It sucked lacked power and while it made emissions it was not very good because the detuned the heads and did some other wierd sh it.
My question for you is do you live in an area where emissions is required? and if so what is the cut off year? if you dont have to put that modified back in dont. There are a lot of other better motors and many newer fuel injected motor and tranny combos can be had from a wrecking yard standpoint with low miles for not a whole lot of money. Anything newer fuel injected will come with the wire harnesses and transmission to make the swap a lot more fun and less hassle.
If you plan to do a 351 on a budget consider some performance heads and a 50 state legal cam a new carb and a a dual exhaust this will give you plenty of power and stll get through emissions. The good news is emissions in 79 were pitiful by todays standars that is why I brought up a late model fuel injection they pass with flying colors compared to a carb and the gas mileage is better too. food for though. There are some good companies who have mustang parts here are a few links The better more well known ones have a reputation they won the hard way and while the parts are not cheap they are either as the factory made them or even better in many cases so you at least get what you pay for. you can also drop in a factory new crate motor for under 2 grand from fordracing website and there are plenty of others . summitracing has lots of engine parts Jegs does and if you want to make you a bad to the bone wild stang go look at roush http://dealers.roushperformance.com/
year one is another dynamite parts warehouse the link https://www.yearone.com/Catalog/1979-04-Mustang and have previewed on several well known shows like overhauling with chip foose and a outfit called SMC or super muscle cars out of south los angeles that specializes in rare big block muscle cars with all new modern running gear. I saw one show where they put a a 440 big block in a dodge dart which was amazing as it was not supposed to fit. being as the dart is not a full size car.(man that had to be fun to drive though ! )
