The 351c was only produced for 3 or 4 years in the early 70s so supply is limited.It is a great motor and looks awsome in the engine bay(more like a big block).It is a high revving motor and even with 4v heads make plenty of torque for the cobra.That motor was largely killed off by the energy crisis and Fords need to produce a lower cost fuel efficient people hauler and lost focus on racing.Now days the 351w can be made to produce plenty of oomph,but not nearly as cool if you ask me,sort of a me too motor. chuck
