I am going to be trading a truck that i have that is just sitting taking up space for a few items. from an old buddy.
he is getting my truck and i am getting a 351w that i was told has been previously gone through, an engine stand, some welding work, and a bolt action rifle he says it was a russian sniper i dont really know for sure and i think it shoots like a 7.76x10r but i cant remember the exact numbers on it(this thread isnt about the gun anyways)
i took the valve covers off and it was really clean inside, no build up. a couple of the rockers had a little play but nothing dramatic. what are some ways of telling that this is a good engine? i dont have pictures i forgot to bring my camera.
plans for it are head port work, nitrous cam, and a carb. glad im doing it this way that way i can enjoy my car with the running 302 and piece together this engine and make it right to swap in.
thoughts please.
