Engine build with the following parts: Federal Mogul Hypereutectic pistons (.40 over), ARP rod bolts, Cloyes double roller timer chain, Melling hi volume oil pump, Elgin cam, Elgin lifters and Elgin pushrods, Crane stud mount rocker arms and conversion kit, ARP head bolts, nice hi performance water pump and other parts.  I got the heads done with hardened exhaust seats, new springs, valves, etc.  Everything turned out real nice.  I have to get a 600 cfm carb and a HEI distributor.  I will be using an Edelbrock dual plane intake manifold.

 I got the 351C block back from the machine shop and wow, did they do a great job!  TY Gary!
 351 Cleveland with a 4-bolt main crankshaft.
 They ground the crank.
 They fit the pistons and reconditioned the rods.  Using ARP rod bolts.
This is what's left of the donar car.  It has been stripped clean.  I removed the fold down seat brackets that were welded in.  I will soon call Pick N Pull to come take it away.  They will give me $187 to haul it away for the scrap value.
