351W roller cam block

Before I begin looking for a 351W, I am trying to determine if a roller cam block is available for the 351. I know that the 302/5.0 had them from 85 (HO) and 91(?) for the standard blocks; did Ford ever make the 351 with a factory roller? I am not interested in the aftermarket conversions due to cost and cam availability; would like to find a block compatible with the factory roller lifters and cam (like the 5.0s). Anybody know about this? Thanks!

351W roller cam block

My 351 W has Ford Racing high performance hydraulic cam shaft M-6250-A332 and roller rocker arms. Available from Ford Motorsport. Is that what you are looking for?

351W roller cam block

I am not sure, but I think that is a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft (no little wheels on the lifters!), although the rocer arms are roller. I am trying to find a block set up for a factory roller cam. Maybe it doesn't exist, and only the 5.0 302's are set up for it.
Thanks for the reply-

try a 351 w from a 94-96 f150/250 truck or bronco and of course the lightning had it also but good luck finding one of those engines

hope this narrows your search

351W roller cam block

Yes Ford makes a 351 roller block. Get hold of the Ford MotorSport SVO catalog available from Ford and you will see it in there. I have a 351W with the conversion roller kit and yes the cam selection is definitly smaller but certainly adequate for the street. I have had it for about 3 years now and have had no trouble with it at all.
