Default What is a sportsman block?
Can anyone please explain exactly what a Sportsman block is and how it differs from the other ford blocks. Are they newly cast
or from the '60s/'70s? How does the quality of these blocks compare to the other 351's? (Standard,SVO, Racing etc)

I know they have a two bolt main but are supposed to good for up to 500hp or more.

Thanks, Rich
