Are you thinking of the early Lightnings? They had an iron block 351 windsor. It would be a good modern roller block to base a build on. The later 2nd gen lightnings are what most people thing of, they have a completely different engine that wouldn't fit into any cobra ;-) |
Both generation Lightnings used iron blocks.

Hate to burst your bubble, but there is absolutely zero difference between a first generation Lightning block and the standard truck 351W block of the same years.
The difference in a Lightning 351W and a regular truck 351W is the heads, cam, intake, and fuel injection system. BTW in '94-'96 the Lightning had a flat tappet cam (but had a roller capable block) where the vanilla truck engines had roller cams. Pete |
