The only problem I have with the 'plain jane' 351c that I assume we are talking about here is the cyl wall thickness. Longer rods helped to a degree with these (6" as opposed to 5.78") but at the end of the day it was always like skating on thin ice. All the oiling, cooling, ex port problems etc were fixable, but the cyl wall deal was always waiting to get you.
