I'm on a hunt for a 351..What cars or trucks would have this thing?Maybe with a 4 bolt main?I have a book on identification numbers,but just want to see what you all say.

Damn man.wish I were closer,but i would never be able to find the time to take a trip like that.69-74, huh..I read something about that.Is there a 4 bolt 351w?I wasn't sure if there was or not.What is another common year you guys get 351's out of?
I don't think any of them ever came with 4 bolt mains from the factory.
69-74 are the strongest, they have a higher nickel content. I usually ****** these up whenever I see them because they are desireable.
94-96 trucks are set up with a roller cam from the factory, but they aren't as strong as the 69-74's. The way to go would be a 69-74 block with a roller cam retrofitted.
What kind of power do you plan to push through this thing? The sad fact is that the 351's aren't much stronger than the 302's and it's not the mains that is the weak point as they usually split right up the middle.
The 69-74's had a higher nickel content to them but they are getting rare and people want to much for them. If you want real strenght look towards an aftermarket or race block.
Really? Because I keep hearing of people successfully pushing 600-700 to the wheels through these things.

well since a stock 302 splits around 550 i would say that isnt much more
Ok, 302's aren't nearly as strong as 351's. Generally the 302's can split from 450 rwhp and up. RPM plays a big roll in the life expectancy, so does whats making the power, is it some sick NA setup? Blown? Turbo? Nitrous? Turbos cars are generally more forgiving.... There are 351's holding over 800 going low 8's and are still running. So how is that not much stronger then a 302??
