Default A quick question.

Hi guys i just got myself a free 351 w block. It came out of a 79 pickup. My question is. Is this worth putting money into to make fast or should i look for a different block?

How much power are you going to make,proper machine work and tuning you can easily use block up to 600 hp at flywheel.I have a one piece rear main block and you see in my sig.

well i want to stroke it to a 408, and as for power. The sky's the limit. But it'll take sometime. I'll use this block for now till the power gets up there, then i'll have to switch blocks then. thx.

Internally balancing the assembly will help alot in saving it.
