Right now it's got a 351C in it. I don't know what's inside yet, as the guy I bought it from knew ZERO about the car - he didn't even know if it was a Cleveland ior a Windsor. I pulled the engine out today, and I have to go away tomorrow on a 4 day long trip. When I get back I'll tear into the engine. I'm going to pull the oilpan, intake, timing cover and heads, and start poking around. The engine seems real tight, all cylinders were within 5 psi of each other when I did the compression test. I think it's a fairly stock 351C. I'll probably just slide a cam lifters and springs into it for now, put a new Holley on it, and drive it like that for a year or so while I gradually bring the car up to where I want it to be. Once I get the car up to standards, then I'll look into dropping an FE into it. We'll see.
