    Description

    NOTE: WE SUGGEST LOCAL PICK UP ONLY FOR CORE ENGINE BLOCKS BECAUSE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE BLOCKS WILL NOT HAVE CRACKS INTERNALLY.

    Long block, factory H code 351-2V V-8 engine. 351 Cleveland engine rated at 250 Hp with 9.5:1 compression ratio in 1970. Likely 0.030" bored motor that may or may not have been in running condition when pulled. Guaranteed to be rebuildable. Complete engine less carburetor, distributor, exhaust manifolds, fan, accessories, pulleys, and flex plate. Intake manifold and oil pan are included but oil pan will be in poor condition. We would be happy to match your build date. Most of our engines originally came with an automatic transmission, in some cases these blocks will not have the tapped hole for the manual transmission Z-bar bracket. Carburetors, fans, distributors, accessories, and pulleys are available separately. Many different combinations of pulleys and brackets depend upon things such as air conditioning and power steering.

    This item cannot ship through any conventional methods (USPS, UPS etc). Along with the cost of the item, crate fees and shipping charges will usually add up to about $600. Motors ship via www.forwardair.com so be sure and check their locations as you will be picking up at their terminal.

    The 2V motor is actually quicker off the line than the 4V and has bigger ports than almost all the like sized "Performance" Chevy engines of the day. Great street motor...

    WCCC also sells short blocks. My 70 351C-4V engine needed rebuilding and I was i search of a used standard bore block. While I found a few local listings I was concerned about potential issues and a supplier that would stand behind their sale. After years of dealing with Don and the crew at WCCC I decided to pay the extra for shipping all the way to Houston. The first block arrived and was cleaned up, disassembled, and Magnafluxed. Bad news, a non-visible water jacket crack was found. Don was not hesitant in making it right and a second block was shipped. That one has made it through inspection and my engine rebuild is in progress.
    The ratings above are all 5's, for a wrecking yard item that is probably excessive but my expectations in each area were fully satisfied.

    • This product is known to contain the following listed chemicals:
    WCCC hooked me up with an original glove box cable and the correct screws WITH shoulders for my glove box. Their listing for these screws explains that the original screws have a shoulder for the cable and most people put in the wrong screws--which...

    I have been working with Don Rush and his team for close to 20 years. In all of these years with many sales transactions I can say they have been 2nd to none. They have always been not only helpful but extremely knowledgeable. I certainly continue...

    I have made many purchases online with WCCC but chose this time to make a 1400 mile round trip and visited them in person. I brought a van load of parts with me that needed a home. Don helped unload them then quickly assessed the value which I...

    I liked that I could see a picture of parts and that you could type in what you were looking for. What was handy for me was the ability to chat with Darrell. He was a big help. Also high on the you gotta keep on staff was Joshua, I had some issues...

    I was having difficulty placing my order on the website and spent a couple of hours trying with no luck (ending in immense frustration). I decided to finally just call and order my parts over the phone (4 small items). Was surprised that Don Rush...

    Brake booster failed on our 1970 Mach1. We had ordered a new 2022 Mach1 to match the old one and the dealer wanted to use both cars in a promotional ad. When we received the replacement booster it failed within a few minutes of installation. I...

    WCCC makes finding the right part with the right fit easy. I love that they try to get great parts and when there are parts that don't meet their standard they WARN you up front! I've bought new reproduction parts from them, used parts and even had...
