Default 351 block ?

My friend is looking for a 351 block and asked me if Sportsman Blocks were good. And if they make 4 bolt or if 2 bolt mains. I said I had no clue whatsoever when it comes to 351's. Where should he be looking for 351's for a 65 mustang, nothing too powerful / expensive but as a restore and have more power over a 289 or 302 w/e was used then.

Then he asked if it was the same as a 351 Windsor, or if it was different. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also I told him to sign up and start asking questions on anything he had, so I apologize in advance if he signs up and later today he asks damn near the same question although I told him not to ask it haha.

the sportsman block is a good block and will probably hold more power then a 69 block and will take the stock roller lifters but will cost more then the 69 block but if you cant find a 69 block the sportsman will work just fine.
