Curious about the claim of a "351 big block" engine. Not based on the pics. And the 351's I'm used to (Ford's Windsor, Cleveland, or Modified) are not big blocks. The pics look like a standard AMC 304 . Otherwise a good looking canvas to build from.

Apologies! it is actually a 360 big block engine. We can set up a call if you have any more questions about it

There are no real AMC big block engines (like Chevy, Ford and Mopar). The AMC 304 , 360, 390 (somewhat) and 401 are a similar size / interchangeable by placement engine block as well as heads.
