Identifying HO version (the one I have, I believe – both have the 4bbl Holly)

Ok – will do

Folks are saying we should prop it at 4800RPM, note to self to check that.*

Exhaust Style
Prop or Hull
This one dumps out the Prop IIRC – 90% sure on that. Water to Water cooler runs thru the headers, gas exits … thru the prop I am pretty sure. Will check.

(you have to know all this trivia*)

Trivia:
“Standard 351 is around 260 hp give or take. 351 HO is around 285–290 hp. PCM GT40 is 310.”
“Standard 351W + GT40 EFI + GT40 ignition + GT40 heads + GT40 cam + GT40 lifters = GT40 zero power lost”
“Nope. All Ford Windsor marine engines were flat tappet, to the very end.”
