ENGINE SWAP
I drive a 78 CLUBWAGON and the engine needs a replacement.
I found a lowmileage 77 351m on EBAY.
What is the newest engine I could use to swap in and run carb;I find it too expensive to even install a computer operated carb.
What cam other than a stock cam would be helpful for daily trip to work and back,14 miles each trip?
Thank you all for the help.

Anthony, Doesn't your van have a 351W in it? A 351M is not a direct bolt up, it is from a different engine family.

10/4 on the dummy, a 351W will bolt in but a 351M will not, you would have a lot of changing over to do to use it.
