I could be very wrong but to my knowledge I believe the 73 mustang mach 1 had a 351W in it. Like I said I probably am wrong though lol

well, are you looking for a roller block or a non-rolloer block? 351Ws came in nearly every big vehicle Ford and Lincoln made during the 70's. They were in truck for a very long time; up through the 80s. I got mine out of a '78 tbird.

You could do that OR you can just find a roller. You can also get them out of Bronco's. I was going to get out out of a Bronco for $300 bucks and it was already pulled. I would just start calling up the junkyards and asking.

You can use a older 351W block to go rooler though it is expensive to do so. The cam base circle is different and you need to buy the linked lifters or the retro kit. 351 Windsors were made from 69 to at leats 96. I snagged one from a 94 F150 4X4 and it is a roller block with all the hardware you need for a great performance build. I believe they came in Full size Broncos and the F150 from 92/93 till 96. That would be your cheapest build though you can retro an older block there are more thinds you need to deal with or you will have oiling issues at the lifters. Hope this helps.
