I need a 351 shortblock...know anybody??
Well I am looking for a 351 shortblock to throw in my boat. A lot easier than rebuilding from scratch if I'm not throwing good parts in it. Would also consider a built 302. Heads interchange, right?

Kidding aside, it drives us Ford guys nuts that Ford makes things so complicated. Sometimes I feel like I need a dang database just to keep things straight.

So I shouldn't have a problem just using my marine balancer and flywheel on the stroker crank, should I?

1969 and 1970 blocks have the 9.48" deck height while 1971 and up have the 9.5" deck.
Flywheel and balancer would fit, but I would NOT trust the balancing to be the same. My experience with strokers is that some take some effort to balance them. Especially Scat stroker cranks.

Well I got a running 351 today for $80! Had to pill it but the guy was pulling the tranny so he already had the bellhousing bolts, converter bolts, and exhaust off. Not too bad. Now I'll just swap oil pans, water pumps, and intakes and drop it in the boat to get threw the rest of the season.
