351W block interchange?
I have a 1988 bronco with 5.8 I am going to find another 351W for spare and mild performance build. Will any windsor block work with my heads and EFI or do I have to find a motor from an EFI truck?

Any 351W should work, you can re-use EFI parts from your engine.

Beware early blocks, deck is slightly different.

Also, aren't you a roller motor, and if so, you need a block made for that or you have to mod an older one....??????

I'd look for a roller block if I had to do it over again.
