What engine is best? How much horsepower does each engine put out? Block size?

 

Depends on your budget.

The 351C is a beast, the 351W has the most options and the 351M is a turd.

Mine has a 351m. I can't say I agree with you on the last one but I can't say I disagree.

 

Hard to argue with that. Very simple answer

 

You know horsepower on any of those?

 

The best IMO is the Cleveland. The Windsor has good upgrades but have never satisfied me. The Modified is a boat anchor. Stock the have ~150 HP which isn't enough. They are probably the cheapest motor to build buy it seems to be a waist of money because of the fact you can't ever build them as big as you could a Windsor or Cleveland. If you are looking for a "Small block" ex. Windsor/Cleveland I would go for the Cleveland. If you are looking for a "Big Block" ex. Modified I would go for a 460.

Just my 2 cents.

 

Cleveland
The two-barrel was rated at 240 horsepower while the four-barrel was rated at 285 horsepower.

Windsor
The two-barrel was rated at 250 horsepower while the four-barrel was rated at 290 horsepower.

Modified
The two-barrel was rated at 150 horsepower while the four-barrel was rated at 210 horsepower.

 

Also Boss 351 with 330 horsepower

You build a 250 hp grocery getter or 800 hp drag strip terror with a 351C/W, just depends on budget and what you want.
