engine shop SoCal

The Ford 351 Windsor is a good solid engine. They have been around in the automotive world for about 30 years when they were in production. Most if not all machine shops can rebuild your engine if you go that route. As long as you tell them it’s a marine style engine. Some will shy away but the old timers have no problem rebuilding these.  You just need to start looking around and ask a lot of questions of what shops will do and not do. That’s the only way to get your information you’re needing and who to trust.

One cylinder that is weak could mean a couple of things. Like McD said it could be just a valve job. Rebuilding the engine is a whole different cost versus re-working the heads.
