Couple questions on the comp wheel because i think i'm gonna need one. The exh. wheel didn't touch as far as i can tell but i haven't pulled the housing yet but theres a real light mark in the carbon but not into the metal we'll see when i pull it apart. Are the wheels interchangable between the hx40 and 351?? I found some on ebay for around 40 bucks some say they are a holset wheel but not real sure.
Also there are some 8 blade and 7 blade wheels that are said to be the same size, but can i run an 8 blade inplace of my 7 or do i have to run a 7blade Thanks. Can't wait to get this together....just hoping i don't need a shaft...

 

the compressor wheel is, the exhaust turbine is different,and expensive, ive used hy35 rebuild bearing and seal kits

 

I've got a rebuild kit coming from dap since I was told the bushings are different from the eBay ones. Does it matter if the comp wheel is 8 blade? The original I have is 7

 

i think the seven blade has the most cfm potential, is the od measurements the same? it would still have lots of cfm, as long as the ex turbine is intact, ive seen quite a few that commited interference suicide, do you know the condition of the exhaust turbine?

 

I don't yet.....just looking through the back of it, it doesn't look like it but I haven't pulled it apart yet.... According to the eBay ad the 8 blade is 60/82.

 

your right sooty the turbine wheel at the housing....guess i should stop where i'm at and continue on looking for a better 351 and use this as parts....

 

looking back, the turbine wheel part #4035271 holset, the after market bearing kits for hy35 are cheaper, and work great, the larger super hx40 wheel will work and should be about 40.

 

Yeah i wasn't to sure on the after market hy35s since smokinblacky said the bushings were different and i found a wheel for basically 50 bucks on ebay for an he351ve which from what i've read is the same as the cw and theres a shaft for 129 on there also i'm thinking about trying. Thanks for the part number also.
