I found a 1969 351w that's had all the machining done and clearanced for a stroker. Hasn't been used since the machining and I can pick it up for around $550. I'm just unsure of the .060 overbore.

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

.060 over isn't too much? How much boring can the 351 windsor's handle?

I wouldn't get it. You don't know what the thickness is on the cylinder walls, being bored .060 over. Not to mention the fact that you could probably find a complete late model 351W engine with a roller block that still runs for that price.

Thanks for the opinion on the bore, but as for the roller running roller engine I'm sure I could find one. The only thing with that is I was gonna stroke it and by the time I buy the engine and have machine work done I'll be at the price. I don't want to use just a stock 351 shortblock or engine.

I ran a .060 overbore 351 W for a couple of years without any problems at all. It was a newer block that I got out of a 86 F150. I would think that the older block would have a little better materials in it (strength wise)....

Good Luck!
