and for my start on my motor i have come across a 351w out of a 91 van and i have it broke down to the block. this saturday i hope to have it at the machine shop for an acid bath and i good inspection/work over. when all is said and done this will end up being a blown 408w or sprayed 418w. i'm not really sure wich way to go at the moment.

now here's my question, i know this block has flat lifters but i'm confused on what it will take to make it a roller lifter block. is this one of the blocks that is machined for roller lifters but came with flat lifters from the factory. or am i going to have to buy the retro lifters

those are pics of the lifters i took out of my windsor.

well wat do you guys think. i'm open for words of wisdom. and part numbers for stuff like headers, oil pans, gaskets, ect. ect.

man i'm excited about this build, and thanks for all the help and advice.

You'll have to buy the retro-fit lifters. And if u search there are a lot of threads with part numbers on 351w swaps im sure. It is all pretty straight forward.


GOOD LUCK!
