Not Ranked
A lot of folks are using 351W's with great, to phenominal results.
Motor is good for 375 - 475 HP depending on what you do to it, and it's about half the weight of an FE motor. Better for cornering and braking.
The only thing you'll retain from the motor will be the block, front timing cover, rods (maybe) and crank if you don't stroke it. Rather than buying a complete motor (don't pay over $200 if you do), tell the shop that builds it for you to furnish the core. 351W cores are around $100 - $150. If you do buy a motor or rebuildable core, try to get a pre-'75 for easier emissions when you get it on the street.
There's a zillion posts in here on 351W building, but I'll give you some spec's if you want. Mine runs great. Only regret is not adding 393 stroker.
