guess i just did a little more research and found that a 351w is on a 289 / 302 small block, and a 351c is on a 355 block. would it be that much harder to squeeze the bigger block into the engine bay or require many more mods?

No the clevaland is not an oddball at all as far as mounting . The mounting points on a 351C are in EXACTLY the same physical locations as a 289/302/351W . There are ABSOLUTELY without a doubt no changes in the motor mount location or the bellhousing mount or location . In fact the only thing that will hold up a cleveland motor from dropping right in where a 289/302/351W was is the size of the exhaust and a company called Sanderson headers has pretty much taken care of that . The heads are the same size and shape as that used on the infamous 302BOSS , The ignition system is shared with the 351M/400/429/460 , The heads are also shared with the 351M/400 , The block is special to the 351C along with the intake manifold . The exhaust is the same as the 302BOSS/351M/400 . The crank is special to the 351C due to the smaller diameter mains . The pistons are special to the 351C due to I belive deck height . Cam is shared by 351M/400 . Oil pan is shared with the 351M/400 Valve covers are shared with the 302BOSS/351M/400 , I have had quite a few of these they have all been good motors , I have one right now Im putting into a 2002 ranger its a sqeeze but it will fit . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If its a good block thats a good price be better if it has all the internals with it . If its a 4 bolt main block with the caps thats a damn good price and keep in mind that if you find a complete one thats a 2 barrel doesnt mean it doesnt have a 4 bolt block , They only ran that motor 4 years 1970 to 1974 before the emissions regulations killed it so at the end they were useing all the stuff that was on the shelves . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
