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!

its just a a plain Jain 351c 4 barrel c4 trans its not running im abt to order the parts to rebuild it and i am stumped on how to make some good power on a budget

good power on a budget

Good power on a budget equals nitrous
All kidding aside...

plain Jain 351c 4 barrel

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

460 is a bolt in that year just saying

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).
