needs machined, honed, cleaned up, all that good stuff. worth 250 bucks or no?

how different is that block from any other 351W?

its a marine casting, ford didnt have much sucess in the inboard market, so the left over blocks were turned into the Lightning blocks, they have a few small casting differences, a touch beefier in certain spots.

Not a marine casting. They are the exact same block that is found in any 94 and up F or E-150 with the 351. The diference on the Lightning is the top end (GT40). The casting is F4TE which translates into (F4)=94 (T)=truck
