+1 on the 351W, it's readily available and farily cheap. You can get a mass amount of info for it as well. Me personally though I really love the BOSS 302 stroked 347, I thiink it's a great engine and extremely durably. It's used in many high dollar high hp SBF applications, but I'm all about class racing and it's the best bang for the buck when running <350 CID. That's the only reason I wouldn't go with a 351 because then you are fair game when it comes to the big 408's and 392's. That's only if you are into competition though.

I am putting a 351 in my 95 with gt40p heads and just ran in to a problem. My #4 spark plug hits the header. Did you have this problem also?
