    289 with gt-40s

    Yes I did. They had to mill the intake to make up for the drop in the cylinder head height. But, it was like $50.

    289 with gt-40s

    I think you should mill those heads to get 54cc's. That's what I did with my 302 and GT-40's and I ran a big cam - 230/235 duration @ .050, .510/.515 lift. No piston to valve issues at all. I fyou have 8.3:1 compression now, with 54cc's you should have 9.0:1. Believe me, you want more...

    Help me build my 351C-2V

    Good move on the valves. Consider the titanium keepers for better high revving performance, too.

    289 with gt-40s

    I think you should keep those GT-40 heads vs. the stock heads. Getting the coolant holes lined up should be an easy and cheap fix for a machine shop. I know going from stock 302 heads to the GT-40’s made a huge difference on my old 302. I guess you could keep your old 289 heads and have them...

    351c 4bbl open chambered heads any good?

    You'll have to convert to screw-in studs for the roller rockers and a solid cam. No the titanium keepers are not necessary, but I think that some upgraded rocker arms are necessary. The stock ones are a liabilty for performance applications. You can keep the press in studs and run the stock...

    Comp Cams: 270, 262, 260

    Regarding the Lobe Seperation: a small lobe seperation (106-109) will - 1. narrow the powerband 2. Move the powerband lower 3. make the idle choppier 4. make more power 5. more mid-range power A wide LSA (110-114) will - 1. widen the powerband 2. make the idle smoother 3. take away...

    Lobe seperation?

    I think 2’ are great, but they have to be backed up by a good exhaust system, like a 3” and the right cam to match the whole combination. I think for you application 1 7/8” is perfect. I run 1 ¾” which is probably small for my application, so my cam runs a 112 LSA to compensate for it to a...

    1 month of the 351C and its broke

    Wait and see what the damage is - it might not be that bad. if you have a bad piston you can replace just that and re-cross hatch the cylinder walls. It might not be that bad.

    Lobe seperation?

    You want the 1 7/8" headers and then go with a 110 LSA. If you have 1 3/4" headers you'd probably want a 112 LSA in order for the exhaust charge to have more time to get out through the smaller headers. The Crower cam you listed looks very good. Consider looking into a solid cam for extra...

    which heads?

    LOL, yea, that’s accurate. The last time I was at the track I spun the tires all the way down the track. Let me tell you it is a weird feeling going down the track at over a 100 mph and the tires are spinning. :eek: On the next run my buddy spun them so hard in between gear shifts that he...

    which heads?

    Do yourself a favor and get the AFR 165's, a Weiand Xcellerator intake and a Holley 650 double pumper. Match it with a good performance cam and some gears. You'll have a very fast and streetable combination.

    new combo

    Probably around 475 FWHP @ 5600 RPM's and 500 FWTQ @ 3800 RPM's. That looks like a great cam for a streetable 408w. Nice combo. I hope you have some traction upgrades because that will be a torque monster. :D

    Excellent, have fun. :nice:

    Is this too much head???

    How much are they asking for the heads? Are they complete and ready to bolt on? what kind of induction system do you have? How do you intend on using the car? If you want to run a 750 Holley, a manual trans and some gears, I think it would be fine. You would definitley need the right cam, but...

    Help me build my 351C-2V

    650 or 750 Holley with vacuum secondaries. It depends how sensitive you are to performance vs. over-carbing. A 750 should be fine, however. I’d run the Weiand intake manifold for 2v heads. An electronic ignition; Petronix should be fine if you want to keep the cost low. If you have the money...

    Opinions on a carb

    A 600 Holley vacuum secondary would be great with your set-up.

    Cam worth it?

    The price being quoted is fair for the labour. Having done several cams, it is definitely a bit of work. Regarding piston to valve clearance, I wouldn't worry about that in the least unless you have pop-up pistons and Twisted Wedge heads, the cam duration numbers are way too small to have any...

    CHP Cleveland stroker kit...

    I'd call Kuntz & Co before I'd work with CHP. I believe they are in Arkansas.

    Edelbrock torker intakes?

    The Torker for the Cleveland and the 302w are completely different and not really comparable in the way that they peform due to the fact that the Cleveland and Windsors are very different engines. First off they don't make a Torker for 351c 2v's, per say. You can bolt it on but that manifold...

    gt40p in a 66'

    They are good heads and a nice bump up in performance over stock. If you can live with the special headers they should be fine. Otherwise a set of regular GT-40's are really the same thing. Also, you can mill the heads down to 54cc's with no problem for about $100 to get the compression to where...
