Is this a good donor motor for 351W to later 393 stroker?

98 van 351W roller motor with 138,000 miles. Motor, serp, efi, all complete. Engine smoked due to a burnt valve?? Complete and pulled for $200.

Is this the baseline block to start building from. Why or why not?

I know I need diff wiring, diff computer, diff intake. Just curious if this block is a good candidate for 351w swap or possible 393 stroker build. I also know for 393 I will need rods, pistons, heads etc.

Thanks in advance.

My 351 motor that I am building for my truck is a 1996 351W out of an E250 Van. I am using the stock harness reworked, aftermarket EFI intake both upper and lower, 70 MM throttle body, egr spacer, stock egr valve stock injectors 19lb/hr yellow tops, speed density with the stock van computer. The reason I am doing this is a couple.
1. There is nothing wrong with speed density for a basically stock/mild motor.
2. I took all the stuff from the van.
3. The van computer used a one O2 sensor harness and computer and I run a single output exhaust.
4. I am a wiring Guru when it comes to building harnesses.
5. IT WAS ALL FREE except for the upper and lower intakes, and those were only 350.00 shipped to my door brand new from BlueOvalIndustries.com

The 351W roller motor is a great motor to build.

I'd use it. If for some reason you decide not to let me know I will drive down and pick it up.
