Guys, I have someone trying to tell me that a 1974 351 Windsor block (bare block) is worth thousands of dollars. I have the chance to buy it VERY cheap, but I can't believe it's worth that kind of money.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

John

I got this from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Windsor_engine but I would not base my decision on this alone. Maber someone with knowledge can verify this. Also condition of the engine is a primary consideration.


Generally the 1969 to 1974 blocks are considered to be far superior in strength than the later blocks making these early units some of the strongest and most desirable in the entire SBF engine family including the 335 series. During the 1980s a four barrel version (intake manifold casting id E6TE-9425-B) was re-introduced for use in light trucks and vans. In 1988 fuel-injection replaced the four barrel carburetor. Roller lifters were introduced in this engine in 1994.

It's not worth thousands of dollars for the bare block.
