Default 351w to buy or not to buy




I've got the chance to buy a 351w out of a 95' econoline van with only 83,xxx on the odometer for 450$. I've got a 76 bronco rolling chasis and the need for speed with the mustang what to do?

Buy it.

That should be a roller cam block
I had to pay $350 alone just for a bare used 351W roller cam block to rebuild

They are getting a little hard to find these days.

[blockquote]I figured it was a good deal since it's all complete and its got pretty low mileage. How much HP will a 351w hold?

Ya alot more, just curious thanks r.barn. I'll probably put the 351 in the stang then put the 302 in the bronco then build up both motors. Costly but it should be well worth it.

Like they said....351 for the stang, 302 for the Bronco. That sounds like a good deal...I'd jump on it. Definitely rebuild it though.....I would while I had it out already, anyway.
