    build the 351w or buy a crate BB?

    not as s exy.... but If the bottom end on the 351W you have doesn't need anything, then just put Aluminum heads on it and a decent intake & cam set-up, and you'll get there. This can be done without removing the engine from the car, and any competent mechanic can do it for you. Look for a...

    Saved a 65 notchback from the crusher, now what to do?

    be careful what you wish for... Ask yourself why you want 300HP. Do you know what Horsepower does ? All the guys talk about is Horsepower as the be all end all, but any engine builder/hot rod guy worth his salt will tell you Torque is what its all about!!!! If it is to launch fast off the...

    newbie header question

    same head as other 302's so theyu fit Ok the bolt mounting pattern on the head is the same whether the 302 is out of a Granada or a Mustang. The Tr-Y will fit, as will a Long Tube header. They have different uses, depending on what it is you are after. If the car has Power Steering, then you...

    Lifters not getting ANY oil

    hmmmmm all Hydraulic lifters can be pushed down with the Pushrod, it's the oil pressure that "pumps them up". So unless the engine is running they are not pumped up. If you turn the car over with a valve cover removed, is oil shooting up the pushrod onto all the rockers ? If not on any then...

    351 Clevland Heads

    won't work 351C heads will not bolt on a 289. They will fit a 351W with some work, and a special manifold though. It's then called a Clevor !

    coil bind on a 351C

    no studs I agree, studs should not be needed, but upgrade to the recommended "premium spring for that Cam. Valve float & spring bind can be catastrophic to your engine. I had to machine the valve spring seats in the heads slighly larger when I went to a .560 lift Cam, but it was a different...
