In order to get a better look at the difference between these engines, we first have to take a look at the specs offered by each.
The Chevy 350 is a 350 cubic inch small-block V8 that was in production from 1955 to 2002. It’s a 5.7-liter engine with a 4.00 and 3.48-inch bore and stroke. There is some slight variation in the horsepower offered by the engine depending on the year, make, and model of the truck, with it typically falling between 145 and 370. This engine is also rated for up to 380 lb-ft of torque.
Now, let’s take a look at the Ford 351 Windsor. This is a 351 cubic-inch small-block V8 that was in production from 1968 until 1997. It’s a 5.8-liter engine used in a wide range of Ford’s most popular trucks. The vehicles that used it produced between 150 and 240 net horsepower and up to 315 lb-ft of torque.
So, on paper, it looks like the stock Chevy is in the lead across most metrics, but how about when it comes to high-end performance?
