'79 351W

[bonestock87]

I've got an opportunity to buy a 351W and a C6 out of a '79 F150. Give me the good, bad and ugly of choosing this post-1974 351W. What about the C6, decent for mild applications?

Depending on what you all have to say, I'd get it simply because of the price in case I want to go that way one day with my DD 4-banger.

are you positive its a 351W? Most 351s in the late 70's trucks were 351M's and they came backed with big block C6's. That C6 if the truck is a 351W is kind of rare, as its a small block C6. I'd be curious to know which it is

I'm just going off the ad in the classifieds. I haven't heard back from the seller, but if I find out what it is for sure, I'll post it.
