Me too, unless he's already got a 302. The 351w is basically a scaled up, raised block 302. Same basic design, same heads, same rod ratio...ect.. All things being equal, they will produce about the same HP per cubic inch. The tourqe output coming off idle, will be greater with more cubes too. Porting the heads is highly reccomended, because the stock heads are a bit restrictive, even on a 302. They will be even more restrictive on a larger displacement version of the same basic engine.
