Does anyone know what the cylinder compression is supposed to be for a 351W ? I want the psi , not the ratio. Thanks

I might be wrong,but if I remember right it should be around 150p.s.i...Of course I think it also depends on what year the engine is...

thanks for the reply surgicaltech, my 351W is a 1980. I have a chiltons manual, but I couldn't find where it listed the rated compression.
