Hello Gents. just got my hands on a 351C 2v, this is a D2AE-Ca motor which according to what it decodes back is from a 1972 Galaxie, but i have read also that this same block was used on the CJ, this one does not have the 4 bolt thingy,
Well i opened it up, and the internals look great, like it was recently went thru, one of the walls in the pinston #3 (i think) is rusted, looks like the engine was left in the weather, any reason why the components are D0AE as opposed to D2AE?
questions: keep in mind i was this engine for a daily draiver (yep eventhough with current gas prices), so i care on streetability and power, not so much on gas prices.
1.-how much power can i get out of this baby with a single cam change? and still keep all other 2V-OEM?
2.-should i change the heads/intake to 4V and if so open or closed chambers
3.-this block seems to be for the small c4/c6 transmission, so i guess i can potentially install an AOD, but there is not flex plate or fly wheel, this engine is internally balanced, correct? on the same as the 5.0 hence the flex plate from a 5.0 will not work?
thanks for your inputs now shoot but be gentle
regards
