a far as cheap rebuild kits, fullauto is a member on here, and has some nice prices on good stuff. Cheap aluminum heads???!?! I would stay with the more well known brands, (AFR, eddy, TF, etc...)

JC Whitney; i rebuilt my 351 with their kit, it was a ford truck motor with efi and i did the efi to carb switch just put a edelbrock torker im and a 600 and it runs fine.....

But i put that into a old Ford F100 =)

I bought my rebuild kit from northernautoparts. I didn't go with forged but they do offer it. (I am Poor)I went the the holley street dominator intake and a holley 650 cfm and it fit under my stock hood no problem.

what kind of numbers did you guys get out of your rebuilt 351's? was it hard switching ur cars to carb?

Haven't had mine to the track and don't plan too either. I built mine for a street only. Mine is a 302 but is not that hard to switch over. I switched my dizzy over to a points style, then purched the XR-i points converter by Crane Cams. I have no computer on my car. My engine was carbed to begin with but it is not that big of a deal. Make sure you get a fuel pressure regulator so you don't over pump the carb. My car was FI originally and I kept the electric fuel pump.

there is a nice 351 kit on northernautoparts but they arent forged. .im looking for some kit where the block dont have to be bored but can eventually handle a supercharger.
