The heads already flow good, 4v heads have even bigger ports. E'brock makes heads for the 351c too. Stroker kits for the 351c are a few hundred more than a similar one for a 351w.
Yeah, I forgot a lot of what I'd learned about Cleve's "way back in the day"; had to go back and read up a lot. Even the 2bbl heads were pretty good from the flow aspect, just those d**n open chambers
Maybe I can dredge up the moolah for some Aussie heads (if there are any still in capitivity). Also definitely work on the cam - maybe an index timing set to advance cam timing a little - like back to 70-72 numbers. Probably
not stroke it so much; I remember (now) the cyl wall thickness issue; and I don't see much good news in filling the water jackets in this climate.
In the meantime, I'm just gonna do the lifters/pushrods, probably a Weiand "4bbl carb into 2bbl heads" intake (cheaper than a two bbl carb to replace the existing 4-pot Holley sitting on the exisiting 2bbl intake), and do the front
suspension. Get the car on the road for the kid. Like I said, when she gets tired of it,
then I'll play!
Back on-topic: Run for the Pines - now that's something that I'd go see! Find myself a spot along the road - like the old Ace Hardware in Lakeside. Lawn chairs and Arby's sandwiches; watching the pretty-pretties rumble by
hijacked again....
So it may be a moot point. Oh well, hopefully the Burg & Brew still exists where it was just outside of Show Low on the road to Lakeside?
