Well my selection from that page would be:
World Products 351 Ford Man O'War Blocks
Engine Block, Cast Iron, 4-Bolt Mains, 3.990 in. Diameter Bore, 1-Piece Rear Main Seal, 9.5 in. Deck,Ford,351W
OR
Ford Racing 351 C.I.D. Non-Siamese Bore Engine Blocks
Engine Block, Cast Iron, 4-Bolt Mains, 4.000 in. Diameter Bore, 1-Piece Rear Main Seal, Ford, 351/ 5.8L, Each

You did not specify a budget so that would be my picks.

why would you want to replace your block? just bore it .030 over good as new

depends if u are on a budget and what u want to do with it. i would just get a seasoned 351w block

if u want a 302 based block to hold a lot of boost or alot of compression i would get the boss block

if u just want as much power as you can, get the 460 cid ford racing block.
