Need Recommendations on 351C Rebuild

Guest

Just had my 351C go down on me - still not 100% sure what the issue is other than coolant is getting into a couple of cylinders, but I do know the motor is going to have to come out. Assuming the block is ok, what recommendations for heads, intakes, cam, etc do you have? I don't race/autocross and I'm not very hard on the car. I would like to juice it up a bit while I'm having the rebuild done but I want to maintain drivability. Someone mentioned Edelbrock had a complete kit (heads, intake, etc) - is this a way to go?

Also, while the motor is out, can anyone recommend other items that should be done at the same time - engine mounts, fuel tank check, etc.

Thanks for any input. I'm not a mechanic and I want to be able to help guide the guy that is doing the rebuild.
