First things first I need to source a roller 351W, obviously.

Can someone point me in the direction of what vehicles I can pull a Roller 351W? I want a roller block.

The days of finding a GOOD used roller block is fading away. For the money. You really can't beat those SHP dart blocks. I think woody from fordstrokers quit trying to machine oem blocks. Because good ones are becoming much harder to find.


What are your plans with the motor? Do you already have some parts or are you starting from scratch? EFI or Carb?

I am starting from Scratch. I was wanting to go EFI but I might change my route. Originally I was just going to stay stock 351 but I’m thinking about going full stroker and possibly forged. I found a complete stroker kit online (393) for $1100. I know for sure i want to go AFR 185 for my heads.

195 and up would be a better choice. 185 will still rip though. What cam are you looking at?

That’s another thing that is up in the air! Still unsure if I want TF stage one or a custom cam.

Hit up FTI.
I think it's worth an extra 75-100 bucks. [patriot]

I run a TFS1 cam on my hatch and I honestly only run it because I think its one of the better off the shelf cams for 302. But if I had a stroker or 351+ I'd for sure go with a custom cam.
