Hi,
Can you share more about what you’ve got there, running condition of the motor, trans & if fairly stock or modified- if so, to what extent?
A 71’ 351C 2 or 4 barrel motor? Heads?
What are your power goals?
Not as cheap as a 351W to build, but they respond to bolt-on’s strong & are much more capable & resilient.
Engineering marvels of their time..
Best!
John

4barrel 351 Cleveland is Not a plain jane motor...and well respond to cam and headers better than most stock small blocks.

Lots of cams that are better than stock and no problem for daily drivers. Is trans a C4 or FMX? Most 351Cs I have seen had FMX's (a variant on a C4).
