Any info on Saleen 351X?
Does anyone know anything about it? Really excited about a new 351 supercharged engine!

I'm more interested in the engine, I'd like another choice besides a forged 3v,coyote or a 5.4 DOHC, I wonder which block they'll use for the 351...

Steve was kind of hush-hush on details on the new engine when I asked him about it. There is a company resleeving the Coyote engines for the 351 displacement. What ever Steve is doing, I wouldn't mind having one for my New Edge...lol

COYOTE Engine
Wow!!! I can't wait to see that mod. Steve is truly great at what he does...

the aftermarket community looks to almost be ready to re-release a new 351, what about SMS?
***see previous post article |

With Steve's SMS 302 now pushing 500-horsepower and greater in certain trim, I think the EPA-certified 351 will still be some time in the future and likely coincide with the aftermarket SMS 292 Supercharger release for the Mustang... again, at some time in the future.
Remember it's one thing to make a 351, and another to make one and sell it as an EPA-certified new car.

2013 Cobra/GT500 will have a 351 epa certified in it, starting under $50,000. Kinda hard to compete don't you think??
|

Well, if those are coming, I'm getting one of those.

If the 351X is not released any time soon. Maybe you can have a 2013 GT500 go through and get the SMS treatment. It will be it's own 351X....

I was thinking the samething, like the rear Cobra Saleen's 99-03.....

Same goes back to the 94-up Saleen S-351 engines, since ford was using the 351 in the 95 Cobra "R" model. Not sure how true this is..... |

I was under the impression he was doing his own thing, but could be wrong. He was kind of being type lipped about it...lol

I think with the old 302W and 351W marked as the same "engine family" it helped matters. |

My last SMS t-shirt read "American Idle." Maybe the new ones will be "X Factor!"

I know this is an old thread but... I hear the first S351X will be unveiled and delivered to the first customer at the Fabulous Fords Event at Knott's Berry Farm, Ca. the weekend of April 20th. 2013.

That is the rumor. I can't wait to see this beast!

My car is down at Saleen now. I wonder if there is a chance that they will "accidently" convert it to a 351...lol
|
#24

Well, my thought is that they could not sell the SMS cars that were priced high and can't figure out how they are going to sell that 351X will still a bad economy.
|
#25

|
||||
The economy has been picking up, and Saleen has what I think is an optimistic number of orders for 351 and 351X cars -- at least some people have more money (not me, of course).

Time will tell. I would love to have one but I can't afford it either
|

Yeah, I heard they had 26 orders... I wish I could afford one, or convert mine.

The 351 models will be at the high end of the spectrum, and have always been fairly exclusive.
White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label 302 models continue to be offered.

Saleen needs a normally aspirated 351, putting down about 550 hp to compete with this new Z/28... lol The 351's, Extremes and Anniversary editions have never had huge production numbers, that is where the white, yellow and black labels come in. Quite honestly, I like the fact that they are rare. Cost wise, you need to compare them to Vipers and Z06's... they aren't cheap either. Bang for the buck, and exclusivity... the Saleen wins, hands down. I see many more Z's and Vipers than I do Saleens. I would love to buy a 351X. That car will be a monster... I'll have to live with getting mine current car upgraded. Sure it won't be a real 351x, but I will have Saleen do the work and it will be just as fun... Of course if I win the Lotto a 2015 351X convertible will be in my gaarage!

Anyone know if it has the 13 tail lights? I'm surprised I haven't seen a 360 shot

I would have to guess, since then it would be a 2012 and not a 2013 model correct?

Yes. It has 2013 headlights and taillights. This vehicle is a 2013, not an updated 2011-12.

it looks like a SMS almost. Same body kit. Save your money.

Talk about bitter. Besides, the "SMS" is the "Saleen."
It seem people forget the 2010-12 Mustangs that were wearing Saleen badges out of MI where fraudulent vehicles that should not have existed. |
#45

|

I agree but, my badging on the fire wall says 'SMS" it's a SMS that saleen built. Not bitter at all.

Why should they not have existed? Should shelby not exist since he is no longer with them. I'm glad Steve has his name back, but just curious your explanation. Always interesting to learn and discuss.

They bought a stock of parts and a pool of press vehicles. Not the right to produce and market a "Saleen" vehicle.
|

I was wondering if the 351 was dynoed to show it puts out the 700hp?

You can always look at the SMS as Saleen Motor Sports instead of his name initials.
