    351C Max overbore

    Naw, same power... kinda a pain though cuz of special manifold or intake plates needed, etc... just thought I'd mention it, so you know ALL options, but it would probably be a "only if I have to" kinda thing. :nice: Also might be cheaper to get both blocks done at the same time: Alott of...

    Cooling system Gurus please step inside

    Well I don't think it's related to your problem... but I saw you mention your hc is bypassed, so I thought I'd share; I had a heating problem that I couldn't find (when I had my heater core bypassed it would cool fine while moving, but once at a stop/traffic it would slowly, but surely start...

    Electric fan help please

    I've got a two speed tarus fan on low also and it worked fine in 90's this summer. 40a relay/fuse (300 rwhp alloy heads, lx, 2 core generic alloy rad) I set the fan up on the garage floor just to test the high speed (which I'll probably wire in this winter for trips to vegas :D ) and on...

    351C Max overbore

    40 over isn't out of the ordinary... Any good engine builder will know who has sonic check equip locally... ( you'll want him to tank and mag the blocks first anyhow, so you're not wasting time and money sonic checking a cracked block ) If you're worried about heating problems, that's...

    Alum Radiator in 67 w/5.0 What's good?

    +1 Summit makes good stuff for budget minded hotrodders... ( my alloy cross flow for my 5.0 dropped right into my 70 with just some home made rubber isolators under it... I think it was only like $229 or $259 brand new, something like that )

    1970 351C 4v intake manifold

    Also worth mentioning ( I might have missed it among the mud slinging :lol: ) is that the 70 is set up for a square bore carb. The boss man and several others are for spread bore carbs. D Pm me if ya need to buy a factory 4v man off a 70' M code 351C stang.

    Stock ford 24# MAFs

    1. I didn't come on asking advice on a tune, I came asking what late model fords (if any) came with a large dia MAF (like 80 or 90mm) and 24s from the factory. 2. I got out of the industry in 90' when I went in the military (hence my lack of knowledge about the late model stuff... hence the...

    Probe vs DSS stroker kits.

    Most times you'll find the "dish" doesnt start untill you get *about 5mm in from the edge of the crown. The valve pocket often extends to within 2mm of the edge, so you'll still want to clay the outside edge of one of the reliefs, just incase. (better safe, than bending nice new stainless...

    351C 2v build up

    Why do you wnat a rebuild kit for a 4v motor? Didn't you say you had a 2v and that's what you need to rebuild? :shrug: *if* i remember right the 2v and 4v are the same in the bottom end, only the h/c/i is different. (except *i think* the boss 351 had 4 bolt bottom end, but those are...
