351W Question
I saw this on the FSeries forum and I'm curious to know the answer as well, can anyone enlighten me and Stu?
"I am building a motor for a Factry Five Racing Cobra kit (uses 89-93 5.0 parts) and want to put in an EFI 351W instead of the 5.0.
FMS no longer sells a roller compatible 2 bolt block with 9.5 deck (was M-6010-A351). I know that the Lightning block (F4TZ6010B) is roller compatible, and 9.5 deck, but is $1400. I would like to be able to use the stock 3.000 crank and not have to use the Sportsman sized 351C crank stuff. I beleieve that all current production 351W blocks use 9.5 deck heights but don't know what ones have roller cams.
Are there any other 'stock' late model 351W roller cam blocks out there (one piece seals)? Specific year of truck would be great. I tried the search funtion but didn't find a real answer. Thanks. -Stu "

351W Question
An easier, and probably cheaper, route would be to check out Crane's roller conversion lifters. They can be used in non-roller blocks. They come in pairs with a bar attaching them to keep them from rotating.
Check them out here:

You might check with:

if your set on a roller block but I suspect they won't be cheap.
