Stevo,

351W or 351C?

There should be no appreciable difference between an automotive and marine block.

Rotating "kits" are available to make it up to 412 CID. Only use a FORGED crank. If the "ad" doesn't SAY "forged", it's not. A common miscopnceptioin is that "steel" cranks are all forged. The aftermarket "preys" on this, selling CAST steel cranks, just using the word "steel".

If a W engine, Dart Pro-1 is an excellent head. The old AFR stuff is pretty popular yet, as well. If a C, all bets are "off". A few companies sell a good Cleveland head. For "out of the box", Edelbrock is probably the best choice.

Solid roller cams are the "ticket" today. Comp has an excellent "line" of street/race rollers for the Fords.

I can do better once I know whether you're working with the C or the W.

Jim
