The 80's 351w blocks have very thin webbing compared to the 69-74 blocks. The 69 block is your best choice because of its thick webbing and high nickel content. My next choice would be the 1970-1972. In 1973 they dropped the nickel % again. then in 75 the block castings changed. I have an 87 block sitting next to a 69 block and you can actualy see the difference in the two castings.
