These pix were taken while on the engine stand. I started out using the small distributor cap (Duraspark conversion), but now have the large cap.....I also now have an MSD Blaster 2 coil.
These are all about 60-80 K I haven't sorted them out very well, expect some to be deleted soon.......some added soon......

The oil pan I got off a 85 Bronco with a 351w. $65 at a salvage
yard for the pan, pickup tube (different than 302), diptick tube and dipstick.
With the 3.5" suspension lift I have, I still rammed the front edge of
the rear sump with the front axle while extreme wheeling. Not too
bad of a dent, but just goes to show that this pan is not a perfect fit...but
I only paid $65 instead of the $140-200 for the proper setup.

INTAKE MANIFOLD REAR WATER PORT
TAP TO INCREASE COOLING

It can be any brand of 351w intake. 302's can be done, but I haven't looked at one enough to tell how.
You can see that there is a flat boss just begging to be drilled where the water ports dead end.
On another note, Edelbrock and some other companies offer some of their aluminum intakes with all this stuff built right in!!!
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/man_ford_351w.html
go to this page and you will see several with the feature built in.
I would recommend doing it with the intake off so you don't get metal shavings from drilling into your cooling system.
I used a 1/4" pipe thread tap, very common, because you can get brass fittings and elbows just about anywhere with this size. I then attached 3/8" fuel injection hose (couldn't find 3/8" heater hose at the time) to a brass 3/8" T. Then I ran more 3/8" FI hose to the side of the engine and connected it into the return heater hose (that goes back to the water pump.) This way the water pump pulls the hot (and I mean wicked hot) coolant out of the back of the motor. Ford must have done something like this because you can go to any parts store or Ford and get the heater hose T to make this work. It is heavy duty plastic, 5/8" for the heater hose lines and 3/8" to hook perfectly into the line coming from the T on the back of the intake.
I used a tapered tap, so I made sure I ran it in and out just enough for the fittings to get tight when cranked down--a step you have to be carefull with. I also used teflon tape on all the threaded fittings as a backup. No leaks at all.
I did it on a stock 2 bbl, low profile (low performance POS), cast steel/iron,
351w intake. Basically because I had it, it was free. It drilled
really easy, and tapping was very very easy as well, just don't over do
it, or you wont get the fittings tight.

I would not recommend unscrewing the throttle plates, or removing the
throttle shaft when cleaning/soaking the carb body. Depending on the condition
of the throttle shaft and bore, you could damage (gouge, scrape) either
by removal, which can lead to vacuum leaks. I use a extra oil drain pan
(clean) for soaking larger parts, like the carb, in parts cleaner. The
carb body pieces won't fit in standard gallon cans of parts cleaner.
