'99350t Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 (edited) i recently bought a 1981 ford, but am unsure of the engine. it is a 351, and i beleive it is a windsor, but i dont know the year. i looked at the casting number above the starter and it begins with e5 (which i believe is 1985) its got a stock looking intake manifold, with a new holley four barrel. the kicker is the engine has a serpintine belt, not the old style v-belt. can anyone help me out???

DIRTBIKEZ Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 while were on the ford subject any1 know about the electrical systems on a inline 6 in a 87 f150 You're gonna have to be more specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin_Demon Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 you're best bet is to go buy a chilton or haymes repair manual. I think the haymes manual for ford trucks covers 80 - 96... but I could be wrong... I have a haymes for a bronco which also has info for the f-150 and f-250. I'll check it tomorrow when it's not as cold outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'99350t Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 why do you need to know yr??? what are you wanting to fix???? if say you are looking for a belt just get numbers from the belt... 295151[/snapback] the belt is no problem, i can just go my demensions off the pullys, thats cake. i need to replace the power steering pump on it, and cant figure out what year my engine is, and the mounting bracket for the pump looks like its homemade out of aluminum. i can't get a picture today, as i lost my cd to install my camera, but i will try to find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 should have got a chevy and you would be dealing with this lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 is there any number on the pump so you can get the same one is is the setup not what you want and you wanna get a manufactured bracket....for that motor??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm sure I can tell you exactly what the motor is if you can get apicture of it. As for the wiring with the I-6, what do you need to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx44 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Chances are it is an "E" that you see since it is a serpentine system. So its an 80's engine. Ford truck power steering pumps are the same from mid 70's to mid 90's. Any ford truck pump with a plastic ressy will bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'99350t Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 wesw- i do gotta chevy, 3 actually and i think the 44" tires on my ford might have something to do with the pump going? bansheefreak- yes there is a sticker on it, with some sort of number, maybe the local junk yard will know more about it. firehead- i have a picture on my digital camera, but the POS won't upload them onto my PC, so patience is the key, but when i get one, i will send it to you ASAP. jinx44- thanks, that actually helps, just it looks like the pully needs to come off the pump, because the bolts that hold to pump to the bracket are behind the pulley... thanks guys, i will look in the junk yard as soon as the outside warms up above zero degrees outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx44 Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 (edited) I know I have a good pump around somewhere. I looked last night but I couldn't find it. If you aren't able to find one in a junk yard, I'll look harder for mine. I don't have an extra pulley so don't mess yours up. You have to have a power steering pulley puller to get it off in case you didn't know. Edit: Also, I am sure the engine is a windsor. Modifieds never had serpentine pulleys unless someone put them on aftermarket. Also, if your distributor sits straight up and down, not at an angle its a windsor. The windsors also use an alumium front timing cover. The block on the mods stick out farther. Edited December 21, 2004 by jinx44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
