Hi Dave,

I have a buddy who has a seriously built 351 W which is without a current
home. It was always a carb motor, but likely could be converted to FI as
easily as a 302. But my thought was that just the 351 with a Holley might
well get you more for less, particularly if the 302 is stock and/or a bit
tired. Let me know if you want me to pursue it for you.

Regards, Greg
