Congrats on the purchase. As mentioned the 351W was not offered in 68. I have one in my 69. Mine is old and running good but could use a rebuild. Since the coupe is smaller & lighter it will be a good engine for the car. If you want more out of it you'll need to go to a 4bbl. Like any engine balance the air coming in by exhaust going out. Ton's of mod's you can do. Just make sure your rear end & trans can handle it. Nothing worse that spending money on the engine to only start blowing out the drive tran behind it. I've started at the back end and worked forward. Next winter the car goes into storage but the engine does not..... MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
