The 351 was produced from 1969 to 1991. I have been trying to research them. I am basically looking for a block to build. Aluminum heads would be used and a stroke kit.
But the point is what to look for. Roller block (are they different?) what years are better.
Stroke to 408 or boost a 351. I would like to get 450-500 HP range with lots of low end torque. Upgrade to a 5 speed manual from the toploader.
This is for my 67 coupe. The convertible will be restored stock. Less than a year retirement awaits me. I am trying to plan ahead, and I know these parts do not grow on trees. I need to know what to look for. Los Angles area should have plenty to offer. I am patient, I can look at Craigslist every day. Just have to find a place to store a chunk of iron. I already have 2 in my shed. Both 289, one is a complete engine and the other is a block, crank and pistons. (K)
