1969 cougar 1969 351 windsor block bored .30 making its true cubic inchs rated at ( 357ci ) Early blocks (casting id C9OE-6015-B had enough metal on bearing saddles 2,3 and 4 for four bolt mains) as with all SBF, were superior in strength to most late model, lightweight castings. Generally the 1969 to 1974 blocks are considered to be far superior in strength than the later blocks making these early units some of the strongest and most desirable ...... The oil routing in the engine block is unique in that a third passage is drilled parallel to the tappet passages. This passage ensures that oil reaches the main and cam bearings before the tappets, reducing the likelihood of lubricant starvation of the bearings (unlike the 351 Cleveland and the 385 series). The tappets are fed from an inverted 'V' passage cast in the rear under the intake manifold that connects with this passage and is sealed with a steel cap .................

The chamber has been reshaped to reduce shrouding. The "RightCast" casting process has clearly resulted in a better shaped bowl and valve guide boss than the World Sr. However there was still room for 8-10% gain in flow with a minor clean up of the surfaces.
