You'll be money ahead with the 351W. Back in the day, the 351C would get the nod because its cylinder heads flowed far better than heads for the 351W. However, there are plenty of options available for the W engine that just plain put the C motor to shame. That coupled with the variety of intakes available for the W makes it the easy favorite for almost all applications.

As far as EFI goes, are you looking for the ITB look, 4bbl style carb with matching throttle body, a Ford MPI style intake, etc? I specialize in engine control electronics and can point you in the right direction regarding the controls, but my suggestions will vary greatly based on what you state as your primary objectives with this induction system.

So, tell more about what means the most to you (looks vs performance) what style you like to look at, how the car will be used, etc.
