    I found a 351w Mexican block and I need to know how strong is this block?
    I already have a D4AE block that's 30 over for my 418 stroker but if the Mexican block is stronger I would rather build it.
    What should i do?????

    I know for a fact the 302 blocks are better but I heard the 351 blocks might be the same as a 351 block of that year. Nothin special on them but thats all from reading on the 351 block. i have never actually seen one.
