I got mine from a guy in Indiana. $400ish from oil pan to upper intake for a roller 351W complete. This guy was GREAT to deal with and is worth a call.

Jim Hardin 800-850-6898

His company is Indiana Core Inc. I found him through an auction on eBay, and he was a million times better to deal with than any junk yard in Cincinnati.

eBay and the local free auto magazines were the best prices that I was able to find when I was searching for my 351.

Good luck,
Mike

The only major variation in 351W motors it the fitment of roller cams in 94-newer engines. If you have choices, look for a 69-75 351 with heads. The blocks are heavier and the heads have the best ports.

Check out item #8001630067. That seems like a heck of a deal even including the freight!

Using hydraulic roller lifters may be prefered to some, but I have an old non-roller block for my 393. It has a retrofit kit so it's roller cam/lifters. Overall it's a nice package.
