Ford Stroker

Do I need an engine block or used to build a 351 stroker w?

I want to build a Windsor stroker 351 engine database. 408 or more. Do I need used an engine block 351 or a new block replacement (Ford Racing, Darts etc). The block would require more processing, but I could probably to find a few hundred dollars. What year or model of motor should I be looking for. I have heard some 351w different from others. What would it cost machineing. Is it better if I get a new block. Do I have the machine to a new block. Which block should I expect. I want the engine to have the ability to install nitrous or super or turbocharger. What are my best options for cost, reliability, ease of construction and practicality. Also what is the best engine size 393, 408, 427, ect. This would be for a fox body mustang and it would be a long term. Where can I find the receptors for this exact type of engine. Parts list, specifications, ect Thank you for your help

any What stroker engine requires a lot of machine work (block new or used). other than the machine work "normal" for break line tool etc, you will need to model the engine several times to check the clearance rod on track oil pan, cam bore, and more. almost always what should be done by hand. there are pre machined blocks out there but I have not seen any 351ws. Summit offers a race prepared 302 blocks (347cid) gm and 350 (383cid), maybe check with them or Ford Racing. otherwise, find a very good machine shop, or break the grinder.
