Looking for used 351W block

[Joe Z]

Hi All!

I am looking for a bare 351W block that will make .030 over bore. My old block stressed when the piston rings bound up.

I have had difficulty finding one at the wrecker yards.

Thanks alot

I got one....it's an 83 model.....stock bore.....

Thanks for your reply. How much do want for the block? What do you think freight will cost me?

If you like, you can e-mail me at jzsebenyi@austin.rr.com.

Thanks again,

Joe

Hey Joe...

I'd say freight would eat you alive....I didn't notice you were in TX until after I replied....I'd say it would be at least $150 or more....a 351 block is pretty heavy....

If you think you'd wanna give it a shot, let me know and we'll talk money....

Thanks for the advice, Blykins. I'll look around here a little more. I still have a couple leads.

Good luck with your build.

I've got one sitting in a 69 Cougar, stock short block with internals. Car ran before we took the head off to put on another Cougar we're restoring.

Thanks for your offer, Admiral.

We found a decent block the other day. I appreciate everyone's input. This club forum is such a great resource!
