Am I off to think this way?
I suspect that since you are asking this question, you may not be 100% satisfied with anything but an FE motor eventually. A 351 can be dressed up to resemble an FE and if all you want is the general appearance that may be enough. Every owner has their own level of obsession with originality from minimal to using straight slot trim screws just as AC did in building the originals. It's something you will eventually have to settle with yourself.
