looked at 351 W, big lie

[native-born-texan]

The lady with the burned out motor home told me the motor had 40,000 miles on it and it was an electrical fire and that I could have the motor, the c-6 and the radiator for 700.00. I drove 180 miles round trip and when I got there the carb was melted and everything bolted on the motor was burned up including the radiator. I told her that it was no electric fire and she said the carb caught on fire but that was a really good price for a long block and c-6 and it went down hill from there so I have made a change of plans.
I am going to use the t18 and put in a rebuilt 351W, will my 300 flywheel fit or will the 300 pressure plate fit the 351 fly wheel. I am sure I will have to get all the brackets from a 351W and an 8 cyl radiator but I am tired of looking at other peoples junk. the final question is, would I be better off to buy a complete junk yard motor , get the heads reworked and have all the brackets and the flywheel and get a rebuilt short block

I`ve put 11 inch 300-6 clutches on 302s before. As for the flywheel, I don`t think they swap, but you can get a new flywheel for a 351w from Northern Auto for $90, other places too I`m sure.

Since you`re swapping, a junkyard engine may be best for the brackets unless you can find a parts truck. I would buy a jy engine, grab everything even remotely attached to it, then rebuild it to my liking. But that`s me.

If you still want a 351 W I know where a few are at here in Tulsa but they will need to be rebuilt.

Pic a part has a bunch of them but I have been looking to buy a whole vehicle. o`reilly sells short and long blocks with a 3 year warranty. I am going to concentrate on Los Angeles as when one of those drugged out hippies wreck their mustang I will get the whole car. It is only about a 3 hr. drive and I will settle for a T18 and 900 hp engine
