It was a bright day for Ford when the first V8 in 7 years rolled out the door. Even though it was slower and heavier than the 6, it was one of the most important things to happen to Ford Australia in a long time.
With the reintroduction of the V8 in 1991 with the EB's, why couldn't they bring the 351W aswell? They were used extensively in US F-Trucks and even the limited edition Cobra R in 1995, so there was no problem with supply I wouldn't have thought. If anyone remembers the EA concept with the 351 which is at (or was when I was there) the Ford Discovery Centre in Geelong, it proves that it was very possible. It may have required a bit of R&D, but it couldn't have been any more work or costed anymore than fitting BOSS motors to BA's. With Holden having 215kw from the Stroker Group A SS, and HSV using the same motor for many years after that, the 351W would have provided enough capacity to harness the grunt that Ford lacked all through out the 90s.
