hey guys, im after swapping the poorly 4cyl on the foxbody for a 351. i have a whole bunch of parts ready for the swap, like brakes, k member, suspension etc. i kinda know what i will need.
i keep seeing 351W motors for sale on allsorts of forums and websites, some of them ranging from $500 to $10,000! is there that much difference between them?
i need a carbed 351W, but where do i start? are the blocks identical between the late 60's models to the 90's motors found in trucks? i will be changing the cam, headers, heads and inlet manifold anyway, so if i pick up a cheap running motor then have it stripped and rebuilt my own way, will i get the same performance as if i paid a fortune for an earlier block?
any help will be appreciated. Neill
