Where have all of you guys been finding 351w's? Besides ebay....where am I suppose to find 351's? Obviously engine builders have them...but everyone wants 600+ for just the block..I'm looking more along the lines of a couple hundred or less. I also dont want to drop money on ebay, pay shipping, and end up with a cracked block when it gets here..besides waiting for word of mouth for a hook up...where did you guys find your motors?

Ebay 351w is only good if you can pick it up. My buddy got one in pheonix for $100 on ebay. I have 2 351w waiting to be buit in my garage, 69, and 87. The one in my 66 came out of an EFI vam, also 87 block. I have $600 in the 69 block, the 87 came in a trade for a 408 kit(for a 331 kit), and the 351w in the 66 was a short block out of a late 80s van for $125 at the local shop. They are out there, just be patient, deals turn up all the time.

You gotta look. I've got a good, std bore 1972 351W block for sale. $150+ motor freight. Also got a virgin 351C 72 short block. Ain't been apart since it left the factory. Jumped time is what stopped the clock. No signs of any other trouble. I'm in south Louisiana.
