i know someone that has a 74 351w from $400. hasnt ran in years. i was thinking of offering 250 for it so i can use the block for my build. Do you guys think its a good deal? and do you think its a good idea to run it in my 67?

351c or w?

Considering it isnt a fresh pull and you cant hear it run you have to take the risk that something is cracked and the price should refleck this, and the asking price is close to this so the seller isnt crazy.

W about 100 high for a asking price, your counter offer is a good one. C about right for a asking price. M block just walk away, there are alot of people that will advertise M blocks as a C block.

Also some thing to think of if it is a C block what heads are on it. 2v or 4v.

Where are you in NY?

if you want a 351 get one out of a 94-97 ford truck/e series van.....they are setup as roller blocks and iirc the 95-97 had the roller cam....

velocity, im on long island. rmodel, i don't know much about building motors yet, i cant go with a roller cam on that block. he said specifically its a C not a W. i have to look at the heads to see if they have large intake ports and the "4" on each corner to identify them. also, a C is stronger then a W correct? i really dont care if i runs, i just want a good block to build off of.

in 2008 i sold my 351c 4v for 400. Remember with a Cleveland your going to spend more money on parts vrs the Windsor.

would you suggest a C or W? also aren't C's a tighter fit and heaver when i can make the same power from a W. i read that a W has thicker cylinder walls over a C. btw i like the color. burnt amber? my original color is burnt amber, when i repaint the car im bringing it back to that original color

IIRC, .030 overbore is the max for C's
