What years 351W?

Thinking about a warmed up 351 for the '57 F-100. I would like to get either a good running engine to get by with for a while or one thats running but an overhaul and some spicing up wouldn't hurt.

What years/models 351W would be a good canvas to start with? Leaning towards truck engine from the mid '90s on up if I can find one but have no qualms with an older engine as long as it gives me something good to build with.

Most likely going aftermarket EFI and I am pretty set on a 4R70W/4R75W for the transmission for modern driveability and efficiency in the old truck.

Yes, 1994 and newer, your looking for F4TE on the block, roller cam.

Your going to need two computers, one for EFI and one for 4R7xW.

Thanks. On that 94 and newer will that include engines from something like an F-250 XLT or will it need to come from a certain model vehicle?

EFI set up comes with distributor and computer and I will just look at the aftermarket stand alone units for the transmission.
