There is no replacement for displacement. Stick with the 351W

Especially when the displacement is caused by a longer stroke

The 351HO was a marine engine transplant, it had a pretty nice RV cam and 4bbl carb from the factory and was quite a bit more powerful than the plane jane 351w of the same era.
