i love 351w. thats what i have in my stang. i'd say thats a steal. the machine work alone would cost you more let alone new pistons.

not a bad price. how many miles? why .040 over? pull that cam and go with one that has more lift. good starter motor to play around with to decide if you want stronger internals on the next motor if you decide to do so.

in the valley of the block there is a frost plug type looking plug. it blocks the main oil gallery's. it is removed for cleaning them. make sure it is there. mine wasnt. needless to say the motor was in and out of my car 5 times for low oil pressure issues before a guy told me. i could have just pulled intake instead of replacing oil pump.
