the 139976 block is part of a rebuilt motor , i got it out of greeley colorado in december , what doesnt make sense to me is why they replaced all the boss parts with standard 351 cleveland parts , it appears a std 351 crank , i havent checked the rods but thinking std 351 rods , it has some pop up pistons , a set of 70 quench heads with adjustable valve train, unsure of the cam in the engine, and an edelbrock performer intake ( i would have put a torker on it myself , but thinking i will put a blue thunder on it now)
i have a 71 cougar xr7 that keeps chewing up the distributor gear , was really thinking of putting this engine in my cougar
no one has came forward to say they have 1F02R139976 , but if your serious i would consider selling the block or shortblock , or what ever you think you might want off it .
about the block in your car you said it appears to be 252xxx? yes that would be to late to be a boss 351 block , also believe something not right there either your date code is nov 27 1970
I have a boss 351 blocck dated nov 25 1970 and it serial number is 173943
other than the block in your car , being held back or sitting in a wharehouse , i would think it would have been int the 173xxx to 183xxx area
unless your looking at it backwards and the 252xxx is actually a 525xxx , in that case its out of a cougar, and wouldnt be a boss 351 block
do you know if the block in your car is a factory 4 bolt main?
as far as your car, i think its a good buy
