![]() Okay I will try to make this to the point.
Got another '87 351W block I am about to get rebuilt to support an intercooled Procharger system for carbureted motor. Block is at engine builder as I type this message. 1) He will check for cracks and clean the block (if it's worth it). 2) If block needs boring, I will find out how much so I can order my forged pistons (BUT FROM WHICH COMPANY/BRAND) 3) Engine builder will provide freeze plugs and bearings (possibly, but I was told by FRPP to get Clevite bearings?), 4) I'm going with original cast crank, forged rods (should I get Eagle H-beam rods), and roller cam. 5) What about heads (which is one of the first things I need to be looking at). Naturally aspirated, I don't want this engine to have more than 8.8:1 compression. So my heads need to match pistons, cam, roller rockers, pushrods, and lifters. Any advise from the great and wise masters of the Windsor forum is highly appreciated. ![]()
