Just asking....
Would it be better to Sell a 351 Windsor whole or just part it out?
Not sure where to post this, but wanted to ask if anyone else has had problems with this? Especially aftermarket performance parts.
but since edelbrock, comp cams and crane cams combined. The three major companies i have bought from in the last year, parts are hit and miss.
mostly from parts discontinued to confusion between the three.

I would say whole, then you can get rid of it all in one shot. Parting out, you may sell half of it, then half to junk the rest if your getting rid of it.

I'm still searching for an Edelbrock 60399 head, look at what this company has to say:
Due to supply chain issues, this brand has extended delivery times and is special order/cannot be cancelled. If you have a question about delivery time, please contact us prior to purchase. Please do not order unless you can wait.
Wow, CANNOT be cancelled.

That’s a bummer for sure. I know I’d be ticked off if it was me. It’ll never cease to amaze me how quick these places will take your money but it’s worse than pulling teeth to get it back. You may have to call your credit card company/bank.

Dart 9.2 deck block - ordered November 2020. Milodon dragster 351W oil pan - same. Last week I got two emails from engine guy - Morning: Dart won't make the block until sometime next year. Afternoon: I just got an email from Fed Ex, your block is on the way to me. Translation - Dart had one sitting around for the last 6 months or so and somebody found it in the warehouse. Oil Pan - last update from Jegs is 11/30 delivery. That's like the 6th or 7th date this year.
Took 4 months for us to get a $16,000 network switch from Cisco, so it's just everything.

Well, spent another hour or so trying to get an ETA.
Now, there is NO ETA.
So, what have I been doing in the mean time you ask...searching and searching for a used head. No luck.
End up finding a pair of 60399 on ebay, used, but refubished. I'll up date my other thread.
It's pretty tuff finding *NEW* parts for older vehicles these days.
I'll update here when my heads arrive.

Just received an Edelbrock subscription email, subject line titled "Dress Up Your Engine for Spring!', and in the body for the email it asks "Ready for Summer Towing?".
I really, really want to hit the reply button and say "Spring? Summer? what year? 2025? or later?".
Already have waited two WINTERS.!!!!, still F'n waiting!!!
My used reconditioned heads off ebay arrived, slowing installing.
Current ETA for head from Edelbrock is now April 2022.
