Are you looking for a roller block or just any Windsor? Have you been checking corral?

I work with someone who has a 84 W. It was rebuilt awhile ago and is cast Pistons,.040 over,flat tappet cam,carb,etc We were talking about it and he would sell complete for 400$ I'm actually contemplating it. If it was standard bore I would have already purchased.

Welp the block is now at my buddies house till I can get my engine stand from the shop and start cleaning everything.

Anyone need
351 rods?
Pistons?
crank?
cam?

The only reason I'm going to stay 8.2 based. Besides with forced induction who needs a Windsor. Have you decided on what you're going to build yet? An all motor 400+ cu in,solid roller,etc or 357 w/turbo or ?? If staying 357 based you could keep some of the internals. Obviously with the needed upgrades.
