    $600 for a 1969 351W engine sound right?

    Do you guys have links to those companies you mentioned earlier?? I don't know what DND, DSS, CHP, etc stands for. So I'm guessing with google.com I did find CHP (Coast High Performance) and was impressed that I can just buy their kit for $1399 with everything, including the victor jr. heads...

    $600 for a 1969 351W engine sound right?

    I'm in luck, the same guy said instead that he'll sell me a 69 shortblock out of a cougar for $200, I live an hour and a half away so I can pick it up rather than pay shipping. How does that sound? Sounds much better to me.... but I'm still heavily curious about an estimate for the machine...

    $600 for a 1969 351W engine sound right?

    Thanks for the advice... I contacted him and he said that "in that case" he has a 69 351W he'll pull out of a cougar that has "seen some weather" for $300. I emailed him back asking what that included... ie: just the block, or full on motor. We'll see what he says. I guess what I'm really...

    $600 for a 1969 351W engine sound right?

    Any recommendations on where to look? The guy says that it turns over freely, but the gaskets definately need to be replaced. He says $600 firm. I haven't been able to locate a good donor engine/block yet for my stroker project. I'm going to be doing a 408W. Now that I've got you...

    $600 for a 1969 351W engine sound right?

    I might be buying a 1969 351W longblock, from carb to oil pan for $600 with 63,000 original-documented miles on it out of a Ford Galaxie. Does this sound right? Does it sound like a good deal? Because I know about the 69 blocks webbing, and it sounds like an amazing deal to me. Thanks, -Tim

    Toploader 4spd Worth????

    Thanks for the help D.Hearne! I may need more from you in a minute... 347Fastback, I searched the ID for "RUG-AD" and it says on www.4speedtoploaders.com that it is a "1968 Mustang 390, 28-spline, close ratio" transmission. I have a 289 now and will be upgrading to a stroked 351W in not...

    Toploader 4spd Worth????

    What's your Zip code so I can get a shipping quote? Also, is it a wide ratio or a close ratio? I assume wide... Lastly, is there a difference between a 4sp toploader from 66 and one from 67 or 68? I don't want to buy one that'll disintegrate if I put it behind a stroked 351W later on. -Tim

    Toploader 4spd Worth????

    I still want a 4-speed to replace my 3-speed but I have yet to find anyone nearby that has one. It's not worth enough for me to give David Kee over a grand for 1 extra gear either, but everytime someone here has one for sale they live all the way over in CA while I'm in NH. I could only...
