Bill, Chuck, thanks for the replies and updates.
 
I can't believe nobody in AUS has put one together yet...
 
Is installing a Windsor in an early Pantera blasphemous??
 
Thanks,
LS

Dear LS, 
The short answer is that no one is reliably producing aluminum 351 C blocks
and there are none, reliable or not, readily available. 
The long answer is that there were a very few aluminum blocks cast by Ford
for racing purposes. You won't find any of these . Todd Buttermore has
experience with engine casting and production. He has embarked on a project
to create a new, improved 351C with corrections and improvements on the old
design. He has cast up a few blocks. He is not reliably producing them, but
he intends to provide them in aluminum and iron. To my knowledge, this block
has not yet been assembled into a working engine nor tested in the real
world. It seems very promising, but it certainly will be a while before it
is available. 
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
