Got the engine stand and lift today to take the 351c out of the mach 1 and rebuild it. It seems to be not too bad as far as difficulty after reading the Haynes manual on rebuilding the engine. IM going to have the headwork on the 4v quench heads done by a shop and IM using a Summit rebuild kit for the engine. Should I have to have anything done to the crank or rods? Is it necessary and will it add much power if I do anything to the crank? As for the engine pull I think its just 2 bolts holding the engine to the car and 2 bolts holding the tranny to the car? so by taking the tranny cross member out and the 2 bolts off from the engine it should be ready to pull considering I already pulled the wires and hoses? IM hoping for 350RWHP with headers, 750 carb, flat top pistons, quench heads 10.5 to 1 compression, street dominator intake, exhaust port plates and a pretty wild but streetable cam. Once I get the engine out IM going to detail the engine bay and get that all cleaned out till I can afford the money to rebuild the heads and engine. Hopefully it should be running by summer. Does anyone happen to know what a 3k stall for a FMX cost? I cant seem to find FMX stall converters for sale anywhere.
Thanks,
Jim
