cheers for the link, i only had reference to a forum before telling me it was a 69 351w. Does anyone know what the 8015 C at the end stands for? Cheers
edit: I'm considering going and checking this out as i have been looking for a 351w block for ages. Apparently it has standard bores which are in pretty good condition, is my best bet to check bores to get vernier calipers/micrometer and check the inside diameter? what else should i look for? I have someone who is really clued up but i dont wanna make them check it if there's obvious stufff wrong with it/until I'm set on buying it. Finally what would you consider a good price for a bare 351W block would be, assuming its got standard bores, minimal surface rust and no structural problems?

and another question, are there any issues with earlier blocks regarding running roller rockers etc? any reason i should steer away from older ones?
there is also a picture of the block in my gallery. Thanks

I don't think that is a 351 block.

yeah its weird, looking at it i thought it was a 302, but i've seen a few sources saying its a 351w....one place i saw though said that a c9oe but with different last 4 digits was a 302 though...anyone else got any insight?

just found out c90e-8015-c is a 302, c90e-6015-c is a 351...spewin
wondering should i still get this or just find a new 302/another 351? Its going in a datsun 260z so maybe a bit less weight would be beneficial. Apart from the '68 mexican blocks are there any advantages with older blocks? I have read they're stronger (pre '81) but apart from the mexican ones haven't seen any evidence...

Older blocks are stronger due to thicker mains webbing...You need to fit aftermarket roller followers as they are longer and the early blocks have shorter lifter bores... There are small base circle cams available but not really a good performance option.. Contact Crane, Crow, Wade etc
There is at least 100 h.p difference in strength between roller and earlier blocks...

okay so the only downside to an older block is needing aftermarket roller followers?
edit: haha and to note, i just found a 302w with part number c90e-6015-c (which is supposably a 351w)....they couldn't make part numbers simple could they.

No you can use a reduced base roller cam from comp that allows you to use factory 5.0 lifters. They are perfectly ok for performance...I ran a .612" lift comp hyd roller in my cleveland and it went hard and a smaller version in my 351w that also went very well. Cam/dizzy gears were a problem but that was because of misinformation by comp. Just make sure you get a -9 part numbered cam and run a factory steel gear and you'll be fine. Got a photo of this "351"? I'll be able to tell you in a shot what it is. If not look for 1/2" head bolt holes and 9.480" deck height. Actually check my 351w into XE post above..theres plently of photos of the engine. Note how the distance from the top of the water jackets at the timing cover face to the decks is at least an inch long?... a 302 deck is practically flush with the top bolt in this area. try this link too.. http://www.classicmustang.com/decoding_part_numbers.htm |
