I am going to be building a cleveland 4 bolt main with 4v heads in the future. I would like to use the heads so I dont want to be told to use aftermarket sets. I have access to a machine shop and all work will be done free and personally so no service bills.
I would like to know some of the cleveland builds you guys have put together
*Cams, intake, pistons, compression.
*Dyno#s?
*ET's?
*Experience, Joy, Regrets?
I have an Idea for my build Please comment
(mostly track, little street) (68 mustang 3000+lbs, 4 speed, 3.5 and 4.30 9" rearends)
Comp cams 308r solid roller cam (3000-7000rpm)
edelbrock Torker (3000-7000)
Forged flat tops (11:1)
stock crank rods (balanced and upgraded fasteners)
750 dp holley
heads will be 4v heads with screw in studs, guide plates. I dont know weather to go with stock 2.19 intakes or step up to 2.25? Do I need porting?
Also Im not sure of the ignition system? I dont know a whole lot about ignition I know it must work effectively to 7500rpm. HEI or points?
My father doesnt think this build will be streetable but i have a similar setup in a 289 that i drive everyday... Wont this motor make alot more torque down low just because of more displacement? Will it drive on street? I want a badass cleveland with the stock heads!!!
I am open to all comments and suggestions. However I am sure about building a Cleveland NOT a Windsor. And I would like to use the heads.
