Question Catelogs for a 351W?

I have a 1976 351W and im not sure where to order any catelogs for it. Mostly I see catelogs for 65-73 then 79-present. They just skip the mid 70's. So if anyone could help me out with maybe a link or parts supplier I would be greatful, thanks.

WOW I'm surprised that nobody knows any parts suppliers that might specialize in the mid 1970's...

Well, 351s weren't in Mustang IIs, and what year any given 351W was made isn't THAT important when it comes to parts (exceptions would be 1969 due to the great cylinder heads and early-to-mid 90s F150 Lightning 351s and 1995 Cobra R 351s).

Other than that the 351W didn't change much from any given year to another except for emissions parts and cylinder head flow/compression.

Not only that, but try finding a parts supplier who specializes in the mid-to-late 70s! Unless you own a Pickup, Beetle, Firebird, Camaro, El Camino, or 1979 fox-chassis Mustang/Capri??? Forget it, catalogs just don't seem to cover those years for any given car.

No prob... good luck with that 351... another decent head for them (don't know how I forgot to mention them) are the 1985 351w truck heads and the 1987-1993 5.0 Mustang heads (actually the same design) They have larger chambers than the 69 heads, so they run smoother on cheap gas (less compression, can use a domed piston to get some back if you or your engine builder checks valve clearances and such) and flow fairly well for factory iron (the heads were the biggest reason for the HP increase in the late 80s, not EFI... EFI was merely icing on the cake!)
