302 or 460 build up

[donna habel]

The company that made the special intake to mate 351C heads on the 351W
block has gone out of business. Unless you can find one at a swap meet or
want to custom fab an intake this route is out. This was something folks
did to pump up the power of a 351W when there wasn't any performance parts
for it. Nowdays the speed parts for 351W blocks are available and
relatively cheap.
