Got news - I've "acquired" a 351M longblock that looks to have only about 30 - 40 thousand on it (if that). I need all of the accessories to run this thing - but it definitely does NOT have to go to a machine shop...
So that Ranger chassis I had set aside?
It looks like it will have a 351M saddled in it....
I KNOW! It's insane, especially if I cam it and go with trick heads. But for now I just want to get it together in one place. "G-II" is not working out like I thought.
It's even stranger than that.....

Stock heads flow better than anything you could possibly upgrade to unless you've done radical internal upgrades, go with an RV cam, 4 barrel intake and carb, and look into a better ignition system. BTW you'll need a C-6 with a big block bell housing cause that's what the modified engines are, or hunt for the FMX often found in the cars that had the modified engine.
