Have fun...I've been looking for a verrry long time. Anybody who does have one, isn't sure how much they want for it or just can't communicate. Im having a hard time tracking down a good/possibly new bare block and building it up. If you for find one let me know

I have a 351W out of a 77 thunderbird (mechanical fuel pump) that has been disassembled and cleaned. The only thing worth saving was the block and heads. I'd take $50 a piece for them. I'm going to get around to doing the machine work to the heads sometime in the next few months. Price for those will go up to about $200 a piece (7 angle valve job, fully assembled head). Central IL area.

you can get a rebuilt long block from autozone for about $1600 with a 3 year warranty. I've never bought a rebuilt engine from them, so I can't speak of the quality, but it's there.
