It may be next weekend before I can pick this one up. I will post the casting numbers. It came out of an early 80s F150 hotrod. mild cam, punched .030 over (it had a piston crack it will need to be bored again) Edlebrock intake, it had a Holley 750 on it. Not sure what head work was done. Im getting the entire dieassembled engine so if anyone is looking for parts i will be selling what I dont need. I will probably end up using just the block.
For how common 351W blocks are I would recommend you stay away from something that's already 0.030" over and needs to be bored again.
You should be able to find a std bore block no problem.
I agree with above posts that Clevor isn't as cheap as building a Windsor, depending on exactly how you go. I'm building a Cleveland because that's what I like, not because it's cheapest. However, I'm using a set of 4V closed chamber heads with aftermarket double springs, 1 pc SST valves, fresh valve job, new seals, etc. that I paid $350 for. Edit: they also include guide plates and screw in studs and all that machine work is already done. They might be heavy old and cast iron, but they will support 500+ horse power and were very inexpensive. You aren't going to find that with a 351W.
