Briefly, they are basically the same block. There are just as many performance parts available for each. Weight is basically the same also. However, you get alot more hp to wt ratio with the 351. Unless you stroke the 351 out to 400+ there should be no overpowering issues. If you build a nice mild 351W you will have plenty of power and will have a dependable engine.
