Default 351W Questions

Anyone run a 351W with rebuilt factory heads? If so, how much HP and any probs with the factory heads? If not factory are there places that sell rebuilt aftermarket heads?

For 69 the 351W was rated at 290hp same as the Boss 302. If you have the 69 head castings you have the best version of these castings ever produced....but put against the newer aluminum castings, they can't be made to outflow the aluminum ones.Along with rebuilding comes the needed change of valve seats and valves. Cost wise when your done your quickly approaching the cost of a new set of aluminum heads.Just a thought.
