Wanted UK 351W block or short engine or engine

[Lee]

I want to build a 351W based engine, but need a starting point. Anybody got a spare one to sell or dispose of in the UK, or know where there is one in need of a rebuild? Would consider a part built project engine with forged crank, and also looking for parts for same. Aiming to build a 408 or similar.
What have you?

Lee,

I will have a low mileage Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold(351W) and Edelbrock Performer 750CFM(elec choke)available within a week or so. E-mail me if you are interested. I haven't decided on a price, but it will be very reasonable.

Hi Lee

Not sure if this is a Windsor or Cleveland, but it sounds interesting and may be worth a call.

If it's a 351m as stated, it's neither (but closer to a 351C)

Gary, didn't you build a Dart block motor for you demo car? How did/is that project? And, the results assuming its done?

Regards,
Lynn

Gary, I am going to start a new thread on this so we don't hijack this gentleman's inquiry in this one.

I'd love an ally block, but I definitely can't stretch to a new one. So looking for a secondhand one which I can get machined and fill with lovely forged bits.

Again would be also be interested in a started project which has forged bits already with it.
Have you a part completed or even fully completed project engine or just the bits for one in the shed which you will never get round to finishing? What have you?
4 bolt mains preferred (I wish), but most things can be made better.
