Engine Shopping
Ive recently decided to do my first engine restoration and am in the market for a carbuerated small block. Does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking a 351W or Cleavland, but I dont know so much about either of these engines. Which would make for a better high performance street engine without spending too much time at the machine shop?

I would stick with shopping for the W motor, there are plenty of speed parts on the market and the blocks are all over the place.
