something to look out for:
Apparently they are prone to cracks. Seems that the flat tappet blocks don't have the issue, so roller conversion of a flat tappet engine might be a safer option.
Found this while casually looking for 351 options. I'll probably stick with a 302 based setup in my beater if it ever comes to a swap since the GT40 (exploder) engines are plentiful around here.
