I've got an engine out of an '84 truck that my father bought before his death. He was going to put it into one of his trucks. I remember him telling me that it came out of a truck that had 70,000 miles on it.
Anyway, I don't really have a use for it and was thinking about selling it, but I'm not sure what to ask. It is a complete engine with carb, alternator, etc.
Any ideas?

It is just a 351w with a 4bb and slightly hotter cam that was the good
351 eng in those years just before fuel inj. bacame standard. KB
I remember seeing a lot of these in trucks, but did they put them into any cars? I don't remember. Possibly CVPIs.
351 PI Crowns had the VV carb through 1991 model year, no CFI or EFI, or 4v carbs for some reason. I think one of the reasons they were carbed so long was that a FI Police car would be disabled easily by banging into it, shutting off the fuel pump.

nope, pkup only, this was the hipo for pkups 351 just before FI made every mtr much better. The cop cars already had FI. KB
Ahh yes, memories (bad ones) return. The cop cars got the VV and the trucks got the
4-V Holley. Both carbs were absolute turds with lots of problems. I won't sleep tonight because of the recalled memories of driveability concerns in my early Tech days. ;) I had repressed those days. The motor itself was quite good IIRC. I recall wondering why a CFI version never made it into the civillian CVs. There were hood clearance issues with the Mustangs IIRC.
Civilian 302/5.0 CVs had CFI '83-'84-'85', EFI from then on, I'm guessing there was an emissions issue with the 351/5.8 in CFI trim.

& the 351 HO was a popular option in the Bronco, as well as standard equipment in most of the inboard competition ski boats of the day.
