as the title states this is on a solid flat tappet lifter block, 351w, unknown year as of right now
wondering how much it will cost, where can it be done, and how much of the engine do i have to dissasemble, the whole thing or just to a short or longblock
since i also have to buy lifters, would it be cheaper to just by linkbar lifters

Lucky for you, it's an early 90's block. It already has the added material in the lifter galley for the spider hold-down bolts. All you have to do is carefully drill & tap the holes...then install the spider & roller lifters, check/double check everything & get the proper length pushrods.

Oh, I'll degree your cam. You can count on that!
Truth is it's a bit dangerous to drill & tap with the shortblock assembled. Jim & I talked about it...& I really didn't want to do it. The link-bar lifters are $400. & are a little taller....or at least they are for the 302's....don't know if they're the same ones for the 351.
Anyway, the plan was to get a good shopvac & drill slowly with a well oiled bit. Then flush as much crap out as possible with a few qts of fresh oil.

No grinding. It is '90 block ready for rollers except for the lack of holes in the bosses. Have to also find a spider to fit the wider 351.

No idea on cost, just call the dealership. Compression should be 9.3:1 or so.

1. It is a 351, not a 302 so the stroke is wrong. 2. When entering the cc's of the piston eyebrows, use -4.
edit- using the bigger stroke I get 10.09, too. Not sure about the valve reliefs or piston to deck heaight. [ May 06, 2003, 05:15 PM: Message edited by: FasterDamnit ]

oops, yeah, i was using 3.5 in my calcs, that was just a typo, and with the 3.5 stroke and 4cc valve reliefs it come out to 10.45:1 so its even higher, i have a pm into john b so it will be cleared up soon, i am guessing the piston is below deck a bit to drop te compression, or it could be a 10:1 motor, eitehr way it will be mine uuahahaha
